slide 8 of 16 Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin: And yet I say unto you, that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Matthew 6:28-29 In every part of the world, in heaven and on earth, He has written and as it were engraven the glory of His power, goodness and eternity.… For all creatures, from the firmament even to the center of the earth, could be witnesses and messengers of His glory to all men, drawing them on to seek Him and, having found Him, to do Him service and honor according to the dignity of a Lord so good, so potent, so wise and everlasting.… For the little singing birds sang of God, the animals acclaimed Him, the elements feared and the mountains resounded with Him, the river and springs threw glances toward Him, the grasses and the flowers smiled. John Calvin (1509-1564)
