Seeing The Invisible God

What makes you believe something was designed? Typically, it’s beauty, order, or the way it simply works too perfectly to be chance?

Many people say they can’t believe in God. Yet the Apostle Paul wrote one of the most profound verses that reveals His existence. Are you familar with it? Here it is:

“There are things about him that people cannot see—his eternal power and all the things that make him God. But since the beginning of the world those things have been easy to understand by what God has made. So people have no excuse for the bad things they do.” (Romans 1:20 NCV)

That verse is one of the clearest statements in Scripture about what theologians call “natural revelation”. It’s the truth that God’s existence and power are revealed through creation itself.

It doesn’t “prove” God the way a lab test would, but it gives a rational and moral reason to believe. God’s eternal power is inside of us. We desire eternity, relationship, we have a moral compass, emotions, feelings, etc.

The world around us is also full of precision, beauty, and order that denying a Creator isn’t about lacking evidence; it’s about ignoring what’s right in front of us.

When you see something beautifully designed, you don’t assume it just happened. A watch implies a watchmaker. A painting implies a painter.

In the same way, creation itself, the stars, the seasons, the human body, even the moral awareness inside us, all point to design, purpose, and power. From the smallest cell to the farthest galaxy, there’s an undeniable fingerprint of intelligence.

Paul’s point is that God has placed enough evidence in the very fabric of creation that anyone, anywhere, at any time can recognize His reality.

“The heavens tell the glory of God, and the skies announce what his hands have made.” (Psalm 19:1 NCV)

Every sunrise preaches, every heartbeat reminds, every breath declares: there is a Maker.

When I think about that, it pulls me to slow down and see. To notice God’s presence in sunsets, in the rhythm of nature, in the miracle of life, and even in the ache for meaning that every person feels.

Those things aren’t random; they are God’s way of calling out through what He’s made.

The last line of the verse, “so people have no excuse”, is sobering. It reminds us that ignoring God isn’t a matter of not knowing; it’s a matter of choosing not to see.

If we will look, we will see.

We can suppress truth, but we can’t erase it. God’s voice still echoes through creation, and His greatest act of revelation came through His Son, Jesus Christ. The Creator stepped into His own creation to redeem it. The One who made the stars died under them, paying for our sin, restoring what was lost, and proving His love for us once and for all.

So what does this mean for daily life? If creation is a constant testimony of God’s presence, then gratitude should be our constant response.

Every sunrise, every breath, every heartbeat is another reminder that life is not accidental. Seeing God in all things changes how you live, how you love, and how you face hardship.

Because if creation isn’t random, then neither are you.

GOD, help us see you in creation. Only you can open our eyes. Holy Spirit, give us the eyes to see it. IJNIP amen ♥️
