Hi, this is Nathan W Bingham, host of Renewing Your Mind, and I want to invite you to join us in

Orlando for our Ligonier National Conference. Beginning May 23rd, Christians from around the

world will gather to hear biblical teaching and enjoy fellowship together.

This year's theme is the way, the truth, and the life.

Over three days, we'll focus on the person and work of Jesus Christ. To learn more and register, visit

Ligon.org slash 2024. Open a Bible about halfway through. You should find yourself in the middle of a collection of songs called Psalms.

And in the 19th one, the Psalms describes two ways in which God speaks to us.

First, he speaks to us through the world that he's made.

Just listen.

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. Now what does that mean? It means that there's a sense in which God speaks to us through the world.

Nature is an open book. The beautiful things he's made declare his glory, his greatness, his kindness, his

creativity, his provision for each one of us and so on. This understanding of God communicated through creation is known as general revelation.

When I was 20 I went on a trek in the Himalayas. At about 2 a.m. one morning everyone was asleep and I came outside and I looked up absentmindedly and for a moment my brain just could not process what I was seeing. It was so unearthly.

There was Mount Everest and I could see the wind blowing the snow off the peak.

And there was a full moon that night and the moonbeams were reflecting off all of these billions of ice crystals as they drifted lazily through the darkness.

It looked like a ghost clinging to the top of Mount Everest and then beyond it

There were more stars than I'd ever seen in my life. It actually made me physically stagger back a couple of

steps. Have you ever felt like that? That kind of beauty does something to you, doesn't it?
