Daily Devotion

“Men will have gods to adore and some form of worship, and however strong this craving, it cannot be met by the unassisted intellect. There must be the revelation of the true God in His Son Jesus Christ, before the desire men feel to know and adore the Divine can be satisfied.”

Joseph Edkins · Religion in China (1878), pp. 115–116

Scripture

Romans 1:20 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.

Reflection

The vast universe and the intricate workings of all things are the unspoken, faithful hand of God. Scientific exploration is not meant to replace faith, but rather to lead us into this silent masterpiece of nature, allowing us to glimpse the wisdom and glory of the Creator. Though we cannot see God, the orderly workings of all things already reveal His eternal power. May we maintain a sense of awe in our daily explorations and work, comprehending God's truth from what we see, and not becoming lost in the clamor of the world.
