Worth My Trust

Dear Lord, earth is covered with praise of thee,
In the tuneful warbling of bird to bird;
Rustling leaves whisper regret for each tree
That on one like them hung the holy Word;
Even the serpent's hiss broadcasts your fame
And asks your pardon for his Garden role.
I can do no less than sing your acclaim
For your matchless grace that redeemed my soul,
And sing with nature the gospel divine;
Point all the earth to Jesus on the cross,
Who saves believing men with love sublime;
He died to retake what mankind had lost.
I love you, Jesus, not because I must,
But you loved me first, and are worth my trust.

God's love for men can be seen and heard in nature. C. S. Lewis called Psalm 19 the greatest lyric ever written. It begins like this:

"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.

In the heavens he has pitched a tent
for the sun,
Which is like a bridegroom coming forth
from his pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run
his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens
and makes its circuit to the other,
nothing is hidden from its heat."

No words come from nature, but its presentation to the eye of the beholder is like many volumes of books explaining God. its Creator. In fact, the Bible says that no man can be excused from belief in God, for His creation has displayed all God's unspoken attributes.
In Romans 1:20 is written by Paul:

"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."

Of all people scientists should believe in God, for they are clearly aware of the fact that the universe was begun at a single point, before which there was nothing---NOTHING!!! How could they not discern the hand of God in creating all matter---everything that is anything---out of nothing, not even light or heat? Even Einstein grudgingly admitted, when it was proved that nothing existed before the universe suddenly began, there had to be a supernatural power who provided the first burst of energy, out of which everything was made.

Do you understand what Paul is saying? You are a dweller on the earth; it and the universe have been created by God. You should recognize His power and divinity, because you can see what He has made. Niagara Falls, the Grand Canyon, the stars, all of it, should be sufficient evidence for you to believe in God, and His Son Christ Jesus.
