Lessons from Ecuador 2013 #3






God revealed in His creation.



We take for granted the beauty of God's creation where we live. Have you ever noticed that? When I go places it seems I notice God's creation so much more. The reason for that is we take for granted what we have at home. This mission trip to Ecuador was no different. We were at high elevations and we seen some of the amazing creation of God. It was breath taking. The picture is just a small example of what we seen.



God tells us in His Word that we can see His attributes in creation, and thus we should know that God is real!



Romans 1:20

For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,



God tells us in this verse that because of His creation we are without excuse! He is the Creator, maker of all. I am a hunter and am able to see the sunrise and sunset on many occasions. I am in awe of God. I often wonder how anyone can question if God is real. It is so obvious! God tells us in this verse because He is the Creator, one day when we stand before Him in judgement we will be without excuse! God will say to us, everyday you seen my creation, what else do you need!



One other creation from God I want to share with you in closing. God has created us. But with sin creeping into our lives we become corrupt. We can become new once again through Christ Jesus, if we will receive Him into our hearts. Then we become a new creation!



2 Corinthians 5:17

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come.



Don't do what we do with God's beautiful creation of the world and become numb to what you have, God has more for your life through Jesus. Become that new creation in Jesus and praise God not only for His creation of this earth of ours but for the new creation of YOU through Christ Jesus!



Thank you Jesus for making me NEW! I am forever Yours!
