Nature is the reflection of God, the revelation of God in the world around us. God revealed in the beauty of His creation around us.
The Apostle Paul tells us in Romans 1 verse 19 to 20:
V19; “Since what can be known about god is evident among Them, because God has shown it to them.”
V20: “from the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through what He has made. As a result, people are without excuse.”
We could say, everyone, every human being has access to God. What we chose to see, to find, to embrace, to ignore, is a chose to either accept or reject God.
The universe belongs to God, and nature is good because it is God’s work. Original Sin {which is original chose} which is found in Genesis Chapter 3,is known as the Doctrine of the Fall of man, implies that there was a negative impact on the natural world because of freedom to chose.
Nature reflects great beauty, but we are only seeing it in a fallen sate, it was far more beautiful then this before the Fall of mankind, in a chose that rebelled against God’s supreme authority.
Sometimes it may be said, we miss the forest for the trees, another way of putting it we tend to admire man’s efforts of creating great structures, but dismiss the reality of God’s presence in the beauty of our natural surroundings.
Nature is like a wonderful painting on canvas. All of nature is part of God’s masterpiece of space and time. All of His creation has intrinsic value, like all of us, His Glory can shine through.
There is a challenge to all of us too, on how our lives could be more conforming, with Biblical principles, relating to the beauty of nature that is around us.
We were created to live in the beauty and surroundings God made for us, and when He made it all, it was His intent that we would live in it, in relationship with Him.
God Bless.

As with everything in the world, beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder… as is Love, Hate, Conflict, Peace, Joy and Brotherhood. Each of us makes the choice regarding the reality of what we experience via our senses. I choose to seek and send positive energy.
Look for the Good – Always

Reblogged this on Questiontime – Vragenuurtje and commented:
We can go for a walk in the country, on a dark night with a clear sky and look at the stars. Then when we look within we should engage with our conscience.
That conscience will tell us what is implanted into our soul. Each person crated in the image of Gdo has also the instinct been given by the Divine Creator to be able to feel the connection with its Maker.
Looking at nature it tells everything about the Creative Hand behind it.
