Notes
It is passages like Psalms 19, that remind us of the magnitude of God's glory. It is so easy to forget as we go about our busy days, it can even become something we take for granted. Romans 1:19-21 takes this glory one step further to acknowledge that creation is a way God's power in the gospel is anchored. When we stop to observe God's glory in creation we should then remind ourselves that when we share the gospel to those who are lost it is the power of God that saves them and it is the power of God that saves us from glory to glory 2 Corinthians 3:18 Ultimately we see God's attributes and character, his power is beyond comprehension, his beauty more glorious than can be fathomed, and his love for those who are lost extendes to the furthest reach.
