The glory of God, or the God of glory?

I’m often struck by the beauty of the world we live in. Seeing the blush of the sky at sunrise, the crash of waves on the sand, leaves rustling in the breeze, the antics of squirrels as they race in spirals up a tree, the tireless activity of birds feeding their young, a tiny crocus braving winter’s end to bloom, the vibrant colors of leaves in autumn…

Glorious!

These wonders – and countless others – are good in and of themselves. But they are also much more. They serve as signs of the creative genius of our God.

The book of Wisdom puts it this way:

For they indeed have gone astray perhaps, though they seek God and wish to find him. For they search busily among his works, but are distracted by what they see, because the things seen are fair.

- Wisdom 13:6-7

It’s grand to love the glories of God, but it’s even better to love the God who creates these glories!
