Day One -- Devotions

-
Gen. I-II, Romans I
----
Paradise--that's what You created. A place of beauty, wonder, and peace. No conflict, not even between the animals. It was astounding It was perfection itself. It was good.

I wonder how I never really noticed that before. I guess I didn't read very carefully. This place was the most glorious place in the world, better than San Diego and Charleston put together.

And how did I miss the part in chpt. 2 vs. 9: "And out of the ground the LORD God made to spring up every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food..." Made to spring up? Incredible! It would be like watching an ancient oak grow from beginning to present at fast speed. How mighty is my God!

It's funny how this seems to tie into part of the Romans passage I was reading.
chpt. 1 vs. 18-20
For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, why by their unrighteousness suppress the truth. For what can be known about God is plain to them, because God has shown it to them. 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.

Wow. That last sentence is kinda scary.

All are without excuse.
