1-minute devotion for Sunday, 10/12/25
“For ever since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly seen, being understood through His workmanship [all His creation, the wonderful things that He has made], so that they [who fail to believe and trust in Him] are without excuse and without defense.” Romans 1:20 AMP

“The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.” Psalm 19:1-4 NIV
Commentary: Creation declares the existence of God in such a magnificent way that people are without excuse. Even though I am 73, I still stand amazed each night as I observe the night sky when I take Henry (my Yokie) out before bedtime.
During World War II, a saying developed which said, “There are no atheists in foxholes.” Men may deny the existence of God in peacetime, but in a crisis, they call out to Him.
In His Love, Cindy

“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 people are without excuse.
For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools…” Romans 1:20-22 NIV (emphasis mine)

Who created all these?

and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:26 NIV

I was driving home from Bunco the other night and suddenly I came upon a sight much like the featured image above. It was breathtaking! The moon was huge, low in the sky, and red! Wow! Did you see it where you live?
God’s creation is astounding! I can’t comprehend how anyone could believe there is no Creator. I want to share a passage I found that will convince you that this earth could not have come about by chance.
The existence of a Creator is obvious when we study creation itself. It’s very existence and its intricate design shout the necessity of an intelligent source. How intricate is creation? Consider this: You are probably sitting down right now while reading this book, perhaps in an easy chair or in a coffee shop. Or maybe you are standing in line, waiting to board a flight, or stretched out in bed with this book propped on your chest. You may think you are still and stationary, but you are actually hurtling through space at a fantastic speed.
Our Milky Way galaxy is rotating at almost 140 miles per second while speeding through the universe at nearly 190 miles a second like a roller coaster spinning while plunging down its tracks. In the minute it has taken to read this paragraph, you have actually traveled thousands of miles. What’s more, you are spinning on a globe that is revolving on its axis at the speed of nearly 1,000 miles an hour and orbiting the sun at a speed of 66,000 miles per hour. If you had a plane capable of that speed you would travel across the United States in 3 minutes. Yet God has so fine-tuned the ride that you feel no movement at all. One slight miscalculation in these intricately interrelated movements would doom everything to a gigantic cosmic train wreck, yet everything moves with the precision of a vast machine designed by a master engineer.
Carl Pettit, “10 Amazing Facts About the Universe You Won’t Believe”
“When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3-4 NIV Read full chapter“
“…what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. 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 people are without excuse.” Romans 1:19-20 NIV Read full chapter

“To whom will you compare me?
Or who is my equal?” says the Holy One.
Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens:

and calls forth each of them by name.
Because of his great power and mighty strength,
not one of them is missing.” Isaiah 40:25-26 NIV Read full chapter

The sun doesn’t look that big because it’s so far away (93 million miles away!) But, did you know that the sun is huge compared to the Earth? If the sun were the size of a basketball, the Earth would be the size of a small dot 2.2 millimeters across! The photo below puts it in perspective. (The blue sphere represents the Earth. The orange ball represents the sun.)
If an airplane could survive near the 5,800 K photosphere of the sun, its trip around the sun at 600 mph would take 4,522.33 hours … or 6.25 months. Compare that to the 5 1/2 hours it takes to fly from New York to California.
When you add to that knowledge the fact that the sun is a star and many of the the stars we observe in the night sky are even larger than the sun, we can begin to appreciate the magnificence of God’s creation. The stars look like tiny points of light only because they are so far, far away. Did you know that God has named each and every star? Wow!
“He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” Psalm 147:4 NIV
I usually take my dog, Henry, for a short walk before we go to bed. I love to look up at the stars and reflect on the greatness of God and His magnificent creation.
I like to think about how huge those stars are and how far away they are. Do you know what you are really looking at when you gaze at the stars?
What appears to be a tiny little star is really a huge celestial ball (some larger than the sun) 4 light years away. That means when you see that star, you are seeing what it looked like 4 years ago because that’s how long it takes the light to travel to where you are standing. That’s far away! Yet we can see it with the naked eye!
(A light-year is the distance a beam of light travels in a single Earth year, or 6 trillion miles (9.7 trillion kilometers).)
The more I learn about the universe, the more I stand in awe of God’s awesome power and grand design.
“When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?” Psalm 8:3-4 NIV
