Not long ago I saw an article in a religious publication that sought to discuss the question, “Can we find God in nature?”. I understand the purpose of the article and see the logic in proving God’s existence by looking at the world. Yet, something struck me about the concept of finding God in nature … can we find the Creator through studying the created? Can we understand the infinite by looking at the finite? While it is refreshing to see how smoothly our world functions and inspiring to take in the majesty of the mountains or the beauty of the oceans, is that really how we go about appreciating our Lord and Savior? When Moses makes the statement, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” (Genesis 1:1) he begins the process of praising God and calling people to believe in Him as the Creator and Sustainer of life. From this verse forward, the Holy Spirit of God begins to lay out a case for the presence and power of God – including how mankind can appreciate Him
