Romans 1:20-25 For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles. Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another. They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
As we look around us, there is a lot we can see. Today, the sun reflects off of the beautiful snow. But there are other things to behold: we can turn on our TV and see violence, hear profanity, and observe all sorts of things unseemly to God. We can go out on the road, to the restaurant or store, and notice that most of us live like there is no God. We can live oblivious to our Creator, or overwhelmed by how obvious He is. Look for the evidence in your own life. How do you come across to God? Thankful? Foolish? Oblivious? Self-assured? Self-absorbed? Have we fallen for the Big Lie?
