God in Nature

As I have been studying in Hebrews 3 preparing for this week I have come across many great stories and quotes far to many to ever use in a single sermon.

One story stood out more than the others of the ones that didn't make the cut and it is based off Hebrews 3:4

 Now every house is built by someone, but the One who built everything is God.

The story goes like this:

You see this Bible I hold in my hand? 

You see the cover, the pages, the letters, and words, 

but you do not see the writers, or the printer, the letter founder, 

the ink-maker, the paper-maker, or the binder. 

You never did see them, you never will see them,
and yet there is not one of you who will think of disputing or denying
the existence of these individuals. 

I go further; I affirm that you see the very souls of these men
in seeing this book, and you feel yourselves obliged to allow that,
by their skill, design, memory, fancy, reason, and so on, the book was made.

In the same manner, if you see a picture, you judge there was a painter;
if you see a house, you judge there was a builder of it;
and if you see one room contrived for this purpose and another for that,
a door to enter, a window to admit light, and a chimney to hold fire,
you conclude that the builder was a person of skill and forecast,
who formed the house with a view to the accommodation of its inhabitants. 

In this manner examine the world, and pity the man who,
when he sees the sign of a wheat-sheaf, hath sense enough to know that there is a joiner,
 and somewhere a painter, but who, when he sees the wheat-sheaf itself
is so stupid as not to say to himself, "This had a wise and good Creator"

--R. Robinson

There is a Creator and He is good, He is the One who built everything.

Have a blessed week!
