Divine Fingerprints

Our Church has a business outreach in its beginning stages. We are striving to equip Christians to be just that in their workplaces; to be salt and light in places where they will encounter skeptics, seekers, other Christians and a range of situations. We have several studies we do and are currently in the middle of one. I am part of a small group of men that are digging deep into Tim Keller’s book; “The Reason for God”. In this book Keller has a chapter on “The Clues of God”. In this Chapter Keller begins by saying that while for some there may not be irrefutable proof for the existence of God, that there are numerous strong clues for His existence. Keller calls them Divine Fingerprints.

I love that analogy. Another it brought to my mind is that the preponderance of the evidence; even for the unbelieving eye, points to God. I am reminded of Romans 1:20;

For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse.

You know we really are without excuse. All we have to do is look around at this amazing creation and see what an amazing God we have. Even as I write this I see a most beautiful sunrise. It truly is the work of His hands. We are reminded of this in Psalms 19:1

1 The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

If we look closely we can see that the heavens really do declare the glory of God. His fingerprints are everywhere and what comfort I take from that. We have a truly amazing and loving God. I will close with a short passage from Nehemiah 9;

5 And the Levites—Jeshua, Kadmiel, Bani, Hashabneiah, Sherebiah, Hodiah, Shebaniah and Pethahiah—said: "Stand up and praise the LORD your God, who is from everlasting to everlasting." "Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. 6 You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.

You alone are God! You give life to everything and the multitudes of heaven worship You! Look everyone His fingerprints are everywhere.

Grace and Peace!
