Fingerprints

God has made the world. He crafted every plant, animal, mineral, and human that has ever existed. He is the originator of everything that one can see, feel, smell, and taste. However, the perfect world that perfectly reflected the design and glory of its Creator no longer exists. That world was tainted and gradually destroyed by sin. Even now, the world is degrading farther and farther away from the original state. Plants fade away. Animals die; and species go extinct. Humans grow sick and die despite all our advances in medicine. Human society faces greater and greater challenges as the centuries bring us closer to the end of time. Despite this degradation, small reminders of God exist in His created beings. Each landscape, flower, insect, animal, human, society, and culture reflect a small amount of their original glory. One just has to look closely.

Look carefully at the world around you, for all things, from the ordinary to the extraordinary, from the great to the small, from the obvious to the obscure, bear the fingerprints of God.
