Nature is God's First Missionary

"Nature is God's first missionary."

I love this. So often, nature is where I find God. The natural world points to God, to His power and beauty. During 9@9 last night we thought about creation and mulled over our awareness of God as creator and redeemer of nature. During our discussion Max Lucado brought up the afore-mentioned quote. I believe powerfully in that idea: creation speaks loudly of God's majesty.

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all of earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honour. 

Psalm 8:1-5
