God's Silent Appeal! Page 5

On page 4 we referenced scripture that states that God is the creator of heaven and earth.  We read scripture that reveals God’s intimate knowledge of His creation and His managerial style regarding its working order.  We also talked about having a “sense” of His presence and the opportunity  to acknowledge God for what and who He is.  Let’s look a little bit more into what scripture says about Nature and it’s revelation of God…

Over the years I’ve had many opportunities to see vast, vast sunrises and sunsets in the Texas sky.  As an airline employee I’ve been subjected to many an early sign-in at the DFW International Airport.  This particular airport sits on a wide-open range of land and the eastern sky is there for the viewing.  I’ve watched the darkness of night slowly fade and the sun gloriously rise on many occasions…and had to admit that getting up before the sun was worth it after all. 

All of us at some point have probably had the pleasure of watching the sunrise. This is a natural daily occurrence; yet even still, it is a breath-taking and awe-inspiring experience.  As sunlight floods over the land, colors paint the sky with unimaginable ease and a new day presents itself in all this majesty. Every morning creation speaks volumes as our massive sun silently rises… and every evening our creator provides an encore as the sun sets—sending rays of light into the stratosphere creating a palette of colors on the edge of western sky.  The sun slowly slips off the horizon as a blanket of stars rise over-head in silent applause!

Scripture says in Psalm 19: 1-4
“The heavens declare the glory of God;
 the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.”

Have you ever heard an inspiring speech?  Did your senses come alive as the words poured over you with such knowledge and understanding that your heart just soared and you possibly rose to your feet in applause?  Our sun gives a daily speech that is so inspiring that in transcends language.  This speech is so powerful that words travel to the ends of the world; this voice goes out into all the earth!  This scripture is basically saying that God has a voice-the silent voice of Creation.   The heavens are the representative of the Creator of the Universe-Almighty God!  Nature is one very distinct way to hear God speak; this voice is visual and sensory!  He can and will speak to us in various other ways as well.   If we’re keen enough to listen… we can be sure that His words will appeal to us specifically, speak to the truth of our situation AND reveal His trust-worthy character—just as the sunrise gloriously reveals  God’s workmanship in the dawn of a new day!  While this earth still spins we can trust that the sun will rise and set daily…and we can trust the character of the One that makes this so.  Allow the nature of God to speak to you today.  Take the opportunity to silently observe the sun set or the moon rise; the snow fall or the rain shower; the stars shine or clouds billow.  Listen to Creation’s daily speech as it silently sends this message to the ends of the earth:  “Glory to God”.

God’s silent Appeal:   As you quietly observe nature, you will feel a stirring inside of you.  This is no accident and it is not ironic.  You are meant to sense this.  God wants you to know Him.  His speech is silent…but He speaks.  May we have enough faith and curiosity to listen.
