During a recent trip to Colorado, my wife and I drive up Pike's Peak. We drove around Garden of the Gods (a blasphemous name, a great place). One thing that came to mind as we travelled around these wonders was Psalm 19: The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. And Romans 1:19-20: For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. My point being that driving around Colorado, it is clear there is beauty and wonder and there must be a point. There are those who do not want to live under the Lordship of Christ, so they simply say all this beauty "just happened." They will say there is no purpose, no value and nothing to gain from looking at this beauty. I say they are wrong. I say that God has put these beauties here to scream out that fact that He exists.The top of Pike's Peak is 14,110 feet above sea level. My church is a whopping 18 feet above sea level. At the top of the peak I was above many clouds. I could see for miles and miles and miles and miles (hmmm Who said that?) anyway I could see a very long way. They said that Pike's Peak was the highest elevation you could drive to, in the entire world.
So, look at creation for what it is: a declaration of God's glory.
