THE MESSAGE IN NATURE

HH, Sir Godfrey Gregg D.Div

“For thus saith the Lord unto the house of Israel, Seek ye me, and ye shall live:” Amos 5:4

God reveals Himself to me in many ways.

  • There is the message of NATURE.
  • The Pleiades, hanging in the sky their cluster of golden worlds.
  • Orion, with his jewelled sword of light.
  • the midnight, lying heavy on the land.
  • the deepening rose of dawn.
  • the grey mists, rising from the sea.
  • the clouds, sailing before the wind.
  • the sweet rain, falling on the garden and field.
  • the very lightning flaming from the heart of the storm:

All these should name the Name of God in my ears. They are His revealers and spokesmen.

There is the message of LAW. In His, Word God appeals to me more articulately, more directly, than in His world.

The law of the Lord is perfect, restoring my soul.
The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise my simplicity.
The precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing my heart.
The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening my eyes.

Oh, that I may have a mind to hearken to this majestic voice of my King!

Best of all, there is the message of LOVE. “I know how manifold are your transgressions and how mighty are your sins,” God says to me. But Jesus saves me out of the pit of my corruption. He is God’s last and best Word to me. After Him, God has nothing more and nothing higher which He can say.

So, while I listen to nature and law, let me listen humbly and most joyfully to Christ.
