Have You Seen God’s Invisible Attributes?
“For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened.”
Romans 1:20-21

Ponder This
God has two witnesses that say He exists—creation and conscience. The inner is the subjective witness of conscience; the outer is the objective witness of creation. The blazing stars and this Universe—how did it happen? To be an atheist you have to believe nothing times nobody equals everything. But God has set His witness in the sky. Psalm 19:1-4; says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun.” Anybody, any place, any time can go out and look up at the stars and conclude, “That didn’t just happen.”
In the French Revolution, a revolutionary told a French peasant as they were pulling down the churches and destroying the houses of worship, “Peasant, we’re going to destroy everything that reminds you of God.” And the peasant pointed to the stars and said, “Begin with those stars.” The heavens declare the glory of God.
- What parts of creation remind you of God’s handiwork?
- How do you respond when you are reminded of who God is?
Practice This
Sit in creation or look out the window and praise God for who He is according to His handiwork.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
