Come And See!

When someone tells another, "Come here. I want to show you something.", the response is sometimes, "I'll be there in a minute." or "I'm busy right now." There have been times I have missed what was there to see -- a cute squirrel in the yard, an unusual bird in one of our trees, etc. -- because I delayed in responding to my wife's prompting while my focus remained on other things. Considering life in general, many have become so busy with their own things they have not come to see that which is of the greatest significance to their life for both now and eternity.

One of the Psalmists urged. . .
"COME AND SEE WHAT GOD HAS DONE: HE IS AWESOME IN HIS DEEDS toward the children of man." ( Psalm 66:5 ESV)

Not only is God's work of salvation AWESOME to behold, but also the magnificent work of His Creation. For those who are willing to TAKE A LOOK, they should clearly see HIS GLORY that it all declares. ( Psalm 19:1) In Paul's letter to the church at Rome he noted there is no excuse not to see!

We read . . .
"(19) For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. (20) For his invisible attributes, namely, HIS ETERNAL POWER and DIVINE NATURE, have been CLEARLY PERCEIVED, ever since the creation of the world, IN THE THINGS THAT HAVE BEEN MADE. So they are without excuse." ( Romans 1:19-20 ESV)

There is too much design and preciseness in creation to think it could have merely come about by chance or by some "cosmic accident". The odds are just astronomically against it. Knowing God is the Great Designer behind it all also encourages us that there is a purpose for us behind it all. Let us urge others to come and see. May our life and the purpose for living it continually point the eyes of others toward GOD; the Great Designer, Originator, Giver, and Sustainer of life!

Have a great day HELPING OTHERS SEE THE ONE BEHIND IT ALL!
