Genesis 1:1 – In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. (NIV)

Genesis 1:31a – God saw all that he had made, and it was very good. (NIV)

When we retired and moved to our present home in Sauble Beach, Ontario, Canada, I became very interested in photography and took plenty of pictures of the beautiful sunsets in this area, many of which are now framed and hanging in our entryway. Over time, we got busy with other things, and the photography took a back seat.

I recently joined a photography group online, and my passion has been renewed. As I sit inside looking out today at the snow gently falling, I see a winter wonderland! Each snowflake is unique — no two are the same. When I gaze in wonder at a fresh snowfall with the snow gently resting on the trees, there is the glory of God. It's magical. It's gorgeous. It takes my breath away. It's a constant reminder to me that God is good and that His creation is amazing!

It reminds me of the song Creation Calls by Brian Doerksen.

How could I say there is no God
When all around creation calls
A singing bird, a mighty tree
The vast expanse of open sea
Gazing at a bird in flight
Soaring through the air
Lying down beneath the stars
I feel Your presence there

I am in awe of the beauty and splendour of God's creation! There are signs everywhere in creation that there is a God. All of creation proclaims God's glory, and every season has its own beauty.

When we look up into the night sky and gaze at the millions of stars, there is the glory of God.

Psalm 19:1-2 – The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. (NLT)

When we watch the sun set or rise, there is the glory of God.

When we see signs of new life in our gardens in the spring and marvel as the grass turns green and the trees grow leaves again, there is the glory of God.

When we hear the birds singing and observe the beauty of each and every one, there is the glory of God.

There are a lot of trees on our property. When we see the brilliant colours of fall, there is the glory of God.

I love every season. All of creation reveals the glory of God!

Romans 1:20 – For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities — his eternal power and divine nature — have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse. (NIV)

How could we say that there is no God?

Prayer: God, we thank You for creating such a beautiful world for us to enjoy. All of Your creation is amazing. May we have eyes to see the wonder and majesty of all that You have created. May we take the time to enjoy Your creation every day. May everyone see Your glory as they look at Your creation, and may they know, without a doubt, that there is a God. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
