Romans 1:20 (NLT)
20From the time the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky and all that God made. They can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse whatsoever for not knowing God.


In Romans Paul is writing about Christ and the good news God has proclaimed. In verse 20 Paul says the earth and the sky have been visible to all people. The things God has made can clearly be seen. And because there is clear evidence of God’s creation, His invisible qualities of eternal power and divine nature are also evident that no one is without excuse not to know God.


In Genesis 3:21 it says, “And the LORD God made clothing from animal skins for Adam and his wife.” For ages man has clothed himself with furs from animals that came from creation. Nature also gives us other materials like silk and cotton. Cotton makes up 33% of the material used in clothing today. It comes from a plant that grows wild in many places on the earth. Its use has been discovered in ancient India, Mexico, Egypt, Peru and the American Indians. God had provided for man from the beginning and continues to provide for his needs today. The clothes man wears everyday, so simple, but clearly seen as evidence that God exists. If you have ever passed a factory that makes synthetic material for clothes and seen the enormity and scale of the building to support the function and then thought about the simple cotton plant how could God’s work not be evident? Do you see God’s work before you? Pray that the work God is doing in your life may become evident. Look for His work in all of creation and praise Him for His eternal power and divine nature. Praise Him for the Holy God that He is and for providing for your needs.
