Description

There are many places of quietness where light and beauty invite us to stop, reflect, and reach beyond what we can see. The following words were written almost 2000 years ago: Ever since God created the world, his invisible qualities, both his eternal power and his divine nature, have been clearly seen; they are perceived in the things that God has made… Romans 1v20 The title of this painting is a quote from Acts chapter 17 where Paul points Greek philosophers towards the one, true God. I believe God went to great lengths to provide us with a myriad paths in nature, which point us to Himself through Jesus Christ. If we are willing to look for Him in and beyond His creation, He says He will reward those who sincerely seek Him. Hebrews 11v6.

Scriptures	Acts 17:23-28 Hebrews 11:6 Jeremiah 29:13 Matthew 11:27-29 Romans 1:20
Acts 17 23 For as I passed along and observed the objects of your worship, I found also an altar with this inscription, ‘To the unknown god.’ What therefore you worship as unknown, this I proclaim to you.24 The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in temples made by man,25 nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.26 And he made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined allotted periods and the boundaries of their dwelling place,27 that they should seek God, in the hope that they might feel their way toward him and find him. Yet he is actually not far from each one of us,28 for “‘In him we live and move and have our being’; as even some of your own poets have said, “‘For we are indeed his offspring.’ Hebrews 11 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. Jeremiah 29 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. Matthew 11 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him.28 Come to me, all who labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. Romans 1 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.
