Look Up and See

As I was sorting through my 2019 photos, this one stood out to me in the play of sundown showing last rays of light beaming heavenward before sky and clouds slipped into darkness. God's beauty in nature is a constant amazement as His creations dazzle in form and color.  My photography file contains many pictures of the wonder of sunsets, sunrises, storms, clouds in a sky of variegated spectrum.

Romans 1:19, 20 says..  "They know the truth about God because he has made it obvious to them.  For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky.  Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities - his eternal power and divine nature.  So they have no excuse for not knowing God."

I discovered the following poem entitled "His Presence" by Alora M. Knight that aptly describes the above scripture...   
                                           A friend of mine once asked me just how could I believe
                                           In someone I never saw, nor spoken words received.
                                                I thought, perhaps, I should explain just why I have no doubt
                                                That it was God's creativeness that brought this world about.
                                           I only have to look around to know that He is there.
                                           I see and feel and hear Him. That's why I'm so aware.
                                                I see Him in the raindrops that nourish trees and flowers.
                                                I see Him in the rainbows that sometimes follow showers.
                                           I see Him in a mother's love when looking at her child.
                                           So thankful that this miracle is pure and undefiled.
                                                I see Him in the wrinkled face that's seen so many years,
                                                Knowing it was faith in Him that overcame all fears.
                                           I hear Him when a meadowlark trills out its joyful song.
                                           I hear Him when the thunder comes forth so loud and strong.
                                                I see the beauty of Him in the butterflies on wing.
                                                The feathers of the peacock are the colors He can bring.
                                           I feel Him when a playful breeze blows gently through my air.
                                           When the sun shines warmly on my face, I know that He is there.
                                                His strength shows in the mountains and the ever pounding seas.
                                                A kitten's purred affection shows how gentle love can be.
                                           It's true I have no pictures to hang upon my wall.
                                           I do not need a portrait, His presence to recall.
                                                For those who wish to listen, it is played throughout the land.
                                                The symphony of life itself, directed by His hand.
