He did not leave Himself without witness, in that He did good, gave us rain from heaven and fruitful seasons. —Acts 14:17
This
last weekend, powerful storms ripped through North West Kansas bringing us much
needed rain but also overturning vehicles and ripping off roofs. Seeing and
hearing a violent storm can be an awesome experience that quite naturally turns
one's thoughts to God. In Romans 1:20, Paul told his readers that God's eternal
power is clearly seen in the created world. He makes Himself known through
nature.
I
don’t know about you but I've heard His "voice" many times—in the
stillness of the woods after a heavy winter’s snowfall, in the singing of birds
on a spring morning, even in a thunderous summer storm that takes down trees
and rearranges’ your patio furniture. God speaks to us through His marvelous
creation. His power and majesty are inescapable if we would only have eyes to
see and the patience to pause to listen.
Your
pastor and partner in ministry,
Kyle
