No Excuses

Things that go "bump in the night" are mostly caused by me bumping into things in the dark. Having a sense of where things are, usually I navigate pretty well without light; on occasion, however, I miscalculate. Paul writes of Elohim (Hebrew name for Creator God), "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." (Romans 1:20). In every area of our lives, having "no excuses" should cause us to seriously consider the next move. Consider how we move through the moments of each day [as if] spiritually blindfolded. Paul David Tripp writes, "you can't get up in the morning without bumping into God." (New Morning Mercies). The psalmist says "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above declares His handiwork" (Psalm 19:1).  Those early rays of sunshine slipping through the blinds ... declare Him! That bird that lands on the ledge outside your window ... declares Him! The aroma of coffee or bacon that awakens your senses ... declares Him! The water that showers over your hair and body ... declares Him! Yeah, He is ever-present, and so we should intentionally live in awareness and sensitivity that He is God. He has made and makes Himself  known; we have ... no excuses.
