Nature bears winess of Heaven





Many people discount God in the wonders of nature, never realising that nature itself bears clear testimony of God and that if we will look with open eyes nature declares the workings of Heaven.

All things have been given unto man to comfort, support, nourish and strengthen him, but with a responsibility attached. We have been given dominion but we are to use this power wisely, benevolently, and generously.

From the majestic mountains, the rushing rivers, the flowering fruitful tree, the bounty and variety of nature, we see His hand, His laws and commandments and His love.

'she could distinguish the heavenly music of the seraph thrush singing in the copse, and when the blackbirds paused for a moment she could her a lark singing high overhead and the cuckoos calling in the distant woods.
These songs woven together were an almost visible web of music lifting the earth from darkness to light.'
