Consider the lilies how they grow:
Luke 12:27
"So through the creation we are to become acquainted with the Creator.
The book of nature is a great lesson book, which in connection with the Scriptures we are to use in teaching others of His character, and guiding lost sheep back to the fold of God.
As the works of God are studied, the Holy Spirit flashes conviction into the mind. It is not the conviction that logical reasoning produces;
but unless
--the mind has become too dark to know God,
--the eye too dim to see Him,
--the ear too dull to hear His voice,
a deeper meaning is grasped, and the sublime, spiritual truths of the written word are impressed on the heart."
