"Nature will not
verify any theological or metaphysical proposition (or not in the manner we are
now considering); she will help to show what it means."
C.S. Lewis discusses this idea of nature in The Four Loves. In which, I agree with
his perspective. The beauty about God is that he is a creator. Many statements
that we read in the Bible are based on truth and faith that God is the creator
of the heavens and the earth. Maybe you could say that nature is part of God's
eternal plan for creation. There's something so pure and soothing when we sit
in nature. Nature teaches us about God's infinite wisdom:
The
Lord possessed me at the beginning of His way, Before His works of old. From
everlasting I was established, From the beginning, from the earliest times of
the earth. When there were no depths I was brought forth, When there were no
springs abounding with water. Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills
I was brought forth; While He had not yet made the earth and the fields, Nor
the first dust of the world. When He established the heavens, I was there, When
He inscribed a circle on the face of the deep, When He made firm the skies
above, When the springs of the deep became fixed, When He set for the sea its
boundary, So that the water should not transgress His command, When He marked
out the foundations of the earth; Then I was beside Him, as a master workman;
And I was daily His delight, Rejoicing always before Him, Rejoicing in the
world, His earth, And having my delight in the sons of men (Esv Bible, Proverbs.
8. 22-31).
There are endless wonders
and truth about God that nature reveals. We just have to be willing to
experience them.
