the sunlight, and the flowers in their delicate beauty, point to their
Creator. The living green that carpets the brown earth tells of God’s
care for the humblest of His creatures. The caves of the sea and the
[412]
depths of the earth reveal His treasures. He who placed the pearls in
the ocean and the amethyst and chrysolite among the rocks, is a lover
of the beautiful. The sun rising in the heavens is a representative
of Him who is the life and light of all that He has made. All the
brightness and beauty that adorn the earth and light up the heavens,
speak of God.
“His glory covered the heavens.”
“The earth is full of Thy riches.”
“Day unto day uttereth speech,
And night unto night showeth knowledge.
There is no speech nor language,
Without these their voice is heard.
Their line is gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.”
Habakkuk 3:3; Psalm
104:24;
19:2-4, margin.
All things tell of His tender, fatherly care and of His desire to
make His children happy.
[413]
The mighty power that works through all nature and sustains
all things is not, as some men of science represent, merely an all-
pervading principle, an actuating energy. God is a Spirit; yet He is a
personal Being; for so He has revealed Himself:
“The Lord is the true God,
He is the living God, and an everlasting King: ...
The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth,
Even they shall perish from the earth, and from under
these heavens.”
“The portion of Jacob is not like them:
For He is the former of all things.”
