Answer:

Connecting with God through nature is most beautifully described in the Belgic Confession, written in 1561. to make us ponder the invisible things of God: God's eternal power and divinity, as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20.

Connecting with God through nature doesn’t need to be scary or mysterious. Let God draw you in through his incredible creation!

Wind whipped our hair as we stood on the top level of the boat. The boat cut through the choppy water, leaving our wake splashing behind us. I licked my lips, salty from the spray. Large tree-covered islands mounded up from the ocean floor.

My husband and I had finally gotten away for a few days (for the first time since having kids!) and we were whale watching on the Juan de Fuca Straight on the West Coast of Canada.

“Thank you God for this beauty,” I whispered

Connecting with God through nature: a Biblical response

It’s very possible to connect with God through nature. It is not “new age” or anything fruity. In fact, it’s a very old idea, introduced in Psalm 19and Romans 1:20.

Connecting with God through nature is most beautifully described in the Belgic Confession, written in 1561.

We know God by two means:

First, by the creation, preservation, and government

of the universe,

since that universe is before our eyes

like a beautiful book

in which all creatures,

great and small,

are as letters

to make us ponder the invisible things of God:

God’s eternal power and divinity,

as the apostle Paul says in Romans 1:20.

All these things are enough to convict humans

and to leave them without excuse.
