Nature itself shouts that God is real. Psalm 19:11 puts it perfectly: "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands." It's like the whole universe is a giant billboard for His existence.
As believers, it's important for us to grasp that the things we can't see about God—His incredible power, His majesty—are visible all around us, woven into the fabric of creation. It's mind-blowing!
God loves it when we're awestruck by His handiwork. Everything around us, from the smallest bug to the vastness of space, was made so we could catch a glimpse of His love for us, a tiny hint of how wonderful He truly is. And when we get that, it just makes us want to worship Him with all our hearts.
So take a moment to appreciate the beauty around you. See God in it. Thank Him for it. Every sunrise is a fresh reminder of His mercy in our lives.
