Invisible things. This is a reference to the eternal order, qualities and attributes of God that cannot be directly seen by the natural perception of human beings but have a direct correlation in the created order of the world. What are these and how are they reflected you may ask. Firstly let's think about the infinite strength and sustaining power of God. It is exhibited in the forces that operate in the universe. We examine our sun and see this as a huge powerful object in our solar system. But it compared to other stars amounts to a microscopic dot. There are stars so massive that exude forces so powerful that they are almost infinite in comparison to our sun and yet even they are miniscule in comparison to forces within the universe. And God was the One that spoke but a word that caused all of this to come into fruition. Yes our problems seem insurmountable at times but we have the assurance that the One that controls the movement of everything has our lives in the palm of His hand and is more than intricately involved in ways that you might not even be aware of or able to see. If He sees the sparrow that falls to the ground and His heart is moved by its demise and that sparrow sells for a fraction of a penny two farthings in ancient cultures money systems, how much more worth are you then multiplicities of sparrows oh ye of little faith. Secondly we have a fraction of Understanding of the holiness, wisdom, love, justice and sovereignty of God. Yet all of this is reflected through the order, complexities and beauty of nature and so as you look at the wonderful things that surround you all of the wonderful work of the hands of the Creator how can one not want to exclaim in the words of the Psalmist who says in Psalm 8. Oh Lord our Lord how magically majestic is Your Name in all of the earth. It reminds me of a song sung during the great Brownsville Revival. Give it a listen. And magnfy the Lord with me, blessed Lamb of Calvary, for His grace so rich and free, magnfy the Lord with me. https://vimeo.com/17507512
