Study God in the creatures as well as in the Scriptures. The primary use of the creatures, is to acknowledge God in them; they were made to be witnesses of Himself and His goodness, and to be heralds of His glory, whose glory of God as Creator “shall endure forever” (Psalm 104:31). . . . Nature is not contrary to Scripture, nor Scripture to nature; unless we should think God contrary to Himself who is the Author of both.
– Stephen Charnock

Amen and amen! Creation testifies to the glory of God and all God’s creatures ought to honor Him. We are doubly blessed as humans by having His Word and being able to grow in knowledge of our Savior – that we might glorify Him all the more.
