Seeking the Creator in Creation

For centuries, for millennia, people have been looking at nature, looking at the creation and being inspired by it. Many people have described the feeling that in seeing something of the creation they are seeing something of the creator. In seeing the creation and understanding how it works they are seeing how God works. The early scientists all understood themselves as doing holy work, of trying to understand the creator better by understanding the creation better. It’s an ancient concept. We go back to the book of Amos that has the beautiful line “seek the one who made the Pleiades and Orion.” The constellations are remarkable, the stars are remarkable and behind that creation is a creator who made them. We have been looking to the heavens, we have been looking to creation in order to see the creator. That is good, and that is holy work.
