For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities--his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God. Romans 1:20
On May 29th, Chris Koch, 37, of Alberta, Canada completed his first 26.2 mile race-crossing the finish line of the Calgary Marathon in 4:23:12 well under his goal of 4:30. While that is most definitely a commendable achievement for anyone, consider that Chris was born without arms or legs. Using a longboard to get around, he raced for Calgary’s Inn From the Cold, a homeless shelter for families and children, and raised $4,000. His next goal? To break four hours for the marathon. Wow! He simply did not see any excuse to keep him from believing his dream would come true.
Albert Einstein once wrote, "We still do not know one thousandth of one percent of what nature has revealed to us." While that is certainly true, you and I only need to know this one thing that creation has made known... God is real. There is not one excuse for believing otherwise.
Did you know that, when it comes to excuses and believing, the bible tells us that you and I have absolutely no excuse for not knowing God? You see since the beginning of time, God has revealed himself through his creation. From each sunrise to each sunset, God's perfect timing is revealed. From lightning and hurricanes to the rushing water of a waterfall, his power is revealed. And from the trees that give us shade and sweet fruit to the rivers that flow to bring us water, his love is revealed. The perfect unity of all creation working together reveals that God is omniscient and all knowing, and omnipotent and all powerful. So you see then, ascribing the works of his hands to anyone or anything else is without defense.

Heavenly Father, thank you for revealing yourself to us in the swaying of the trees, the smell of a freshly cut field and the warm breeze that passes us by. Your creations are beautiful and telling of a God that is more powerful and awesome than we could ever comprehend. Help us to soak in the blessings of all you have made as we praise and worship you, the Creator of all things. It's in your precious name, Jesus. Amen.
Happy Running!!!
