Enjoy Life, Enjoy God

OBVIOUS

January 6, 2014

To be out and about in this glorious land surely it bears witness to God.

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.
                                                ---Psalm 19:1,2 TNIV
 
What seems obvious to me is not to all.  What tesitifies to the glory of Glory to me, to others is a mountain, a sunrise, etc.  So be it.  The Reformers understood general revelation, like the words of this Psalm, but they also spoke of special revelation.  A person could stare at the glories of God in nature a lifetime and never discover the gospel of new life in Christ that requires special revelation.

Thanks be to God.  That you are reading this assuredly means you have received the blessing of general AND special revelation,  Rejoice in that today.  You know the glories of God's creation, and may know the hope of Jesus Christ!.
 
Joyfully,
