Two examples give us cause to consider God's creation as a revelation of the divine.
*The Burning Bush/The Stone that spewed water.
This was one of the manifestations that was clear to Moses as he led the Israelites through the Wilderness.
*The appearance of the serpent in the Garden.
We must remember that Christ, too, was tempted in the Wilderness, promised all the kingdoms of Earth if he would just change his allegiance.
"He who made kittens, put snakes in the grass."
"It rains on the just and the unjust."
We are helpless but to accept his plan and heed redeeming grace when we come upon it. In our daily walks, there are a thousand opportunities to do or say something encouraging, to do something that goes against blatant self-interest.
Even the pagans of Rome believed that humanity fit together like a puzzle, and that man had that social element inborn.
We were meant to encourage our fellow, in some way shape or form, hopefully for the mutual good of all.
