ROMANS 1:20 POWER AND DIVINITY Wherever we look there is unmistakable evidence of the work of divinity. God's deity, the state of being God, is known by those who know Him personally - His saints. His divinity, that which pertains to God, is there for everyone to see in His creation. A person alone out on a great desert lifts his eyes to consider the stars and he can find his way home. The seaman in the middle of the vast oceans of earth can tell the direction to travel by scanning the stars, the sun and the moon. Then he considers the winds and the tides and can find his way around the world. The new mother marveling at the miracle of new life conceived in her is made aware of the power and reality of God. The farmer sows seed in prepared ground. Then he waits for the sun and rain to do their work expecting thousands of times more seeds to be produced than what he planted. In faith he plants and waits for the power and divinity of God to work the miracle of life.
No matter where one may be found in the world; no matter what culture or religion; there is clear evidence of the power and divinity of God that is easily seen. From the day of creation on, man has been without excuse to believe in God. God gave them the light of creation. From that light visible to the human eye and mind, unfolds the truth of Divine Persons of intelligence, order and power. In man's very nature there is a response prompted to act in faith or deliberate rejection. To every person there is a positive response of faith that can be rejected by the human will and will bring damnation if one does so, because they are without excuse.
There is no excuse when we stop to think We live every single day upon the brink Of life and death, preserved only by grace That enables us to easily move from place to place And see by the evidence that does us surround With beauty to the eye, and ears hear by thunder sound There is a God with whom we have to do Who expects the response of faith from me and you.
There is no excuse when I lift my eyes And see divine order before me in the skies. I experience the seasons following year by year And realize they are necessary for humans to hear. I look through a scope and see order in the smallest things. And watch the fruit develop and know that it not only brings Blessing to me from the ground beneath my feet - But also, a testimony of a Divine Person I must meet.
There is no excuse as I look within me and see God has planted a spirit and awareness of eternity. I cannot escape this divinely implanted fact - That there is a God who knows me and how I think and act. There is no escaping Him, for in Him I live and breathe Life has no real meaning without Him, Him I want to please Because the body, soul and spirit have no basic use If I live and die based only on what I choose.
There is no excuse, His power and divinity make very clear There is a God who creates and rules, and the reason I am here Is in whatever way possible in the course of this life I am be to this dark world a little bit of light So other people may see their way to God, And perhaps I can help them with some deed or word - To put their personal faith in Him and be willing to use The efforts of their lives, helping those who are without excuse.
"Father in heaven, I am thinking there must be those around who have the light of creation making them aware of the reality of Thee. If I am to speak to them lead me to them and give me words of truth to say that they may be saved. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
WITHOUT EXCUSE. Why is that sun up there in the sky? Why are there so many kinds of birds that fly? Why is the snow that falls so white? How can I know what is wrong or right?
God made His creative work so plain – That a man’s imagination – often so vain – Would be directed to consider Him Who identifies and makes plain what is sin.
So, I, a man who is prone to wrong, Would not think I on earth am so strong –
That I can live my life without faith – When I owe everything to God’s redeeming grace.
May I be simple enough to look around From the sky above right down to the ground And see the proofs in creation – and then understand – That God knows all about me, even though I am just a man.
“Father, may I never cease to wonder at all the evidences I see in creation of Thy power, sense of beauty and order. I marvel at the ways Thou art revealed to 1people, so that no one in whatever place they are, will ever be able to say I saw no evidence of a real personal God. I am totally convinced by what I see that in Thy own Person, there is incomparable power, glory, wisdom and beauty. Amen.”
