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. -Romans 1:20(NLT)
NO EXCUSE FOR NOT KNOWING GOD
A poem and essay by ILMA
Have you looked at the blue skies today?
Are you not able to wake up breathing every single day?
Since time began, God created the earth and sky
You can see God’s power by just looking up high.
The mountains, ocean, animals and flowers
Are they not enough to realize God’s eternal power?
There is no excuse for not knowing God; look around
He is manifest in all creation and his love abounds.
________________________________________
There are many excuses that people give to disprove God’s divine nature and eternal power. Science is one of the reasons that people justify that not all things come from God. But these scientists have no idea that they are just given a glimpse of what is unknown so that they can further glorify the Lord. But what do people do instead? They magnify their knowledge and boast about it. They do not point to the source of it all. They deny that all these things came from one supreme being, God. All they need to do is watch his creation, the sun, the landscapes, the oceans, and all creatures.

What happens when we make up excuses not to know God’s existence?
