Psalm 19:1-2 states, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours out speech and night to night reveals knowledge" (ESV). As one may learn something about Vincent van Gogh by looking at his Starry Night painting, is it possible to look at the beauty of our natural world and learn something about God (commonly called general revelation)? Is this sufficient knowledge about God? Explain why or why not. (300-500 words)

Earth has a beautiful beauty that can show God’s presence everywhere I go. He made Earth and everything works of art in nature, from the Gobi Desert to the Amazon Rainforest. In doing this, God's wonder is with us and surrounds us every day. We can’t see God like I see my friends, but I can see his beauty in everything around me including my friends because God is seen in all these different ways. Our lives change constantly, and each day we should see God, and we can do that by seeing the beauty all around us, and it's in the eye of the beholder. I can look at the ocean and see all the possibilities for making am aquarium or marine life habitat, one of my friends could look at the ocean and see amazing types of dishes to cook. In the end, we'll both understand God designed all this beauty for us. We can see him in his work every day. Just as if we look at Van Gogh’s painting a Starry Night. When we notice all these beautiful things, we learn a thing about God, Like we learned about Van Gogh (He was actually in an insane asylum while making that and it was most likely him drawing out a hallucination while having a psychotic or schizophrenic from what he saw outside his window but you get the picture).

People will always question God’s existence. Bad things happen to good people, and we want to know why. For example, a man that was loved by and loved God. He was doing everything right. Then something bad happens and hurts him during his life on Earth. Did he deserve this, no sadly in the bible it says God gave people free will and people use it to do wrongdoings, but Job used God to help him get through it, in turn bringing Job closer to God? Yes.

  • Hope this helps, now you know the answer and how to do it. HAVE A BLESSED AND WONDERFUL DAY! As well as a great Valentines Day! :-)
