“Ask the beasts, and they will teach you; the birds of the heavens and they will tell you, or the bushes of the earth and they will teach you.” - Job 12:7–8
We encounter glory in stars and experience awe through storms. We learn about humanity through dust and about Jesus’ death on our behalf through trees and bread and wine. Ultimately, we meet God in his creation and are taught by the beasts, the birds, and the bushes of the earth. The created world is a gallery of sketches, paintings, and portraits revealing our Maker and Savior.
Abstract theology is overrated, for God can be found in even the most ordinary of things.
Jesus used things like a lily, sparrow, and sheep to teach about the kingdom of God. And in the Old Testament, God repeatedly describes himself and his saving work in relation to physical things such as a rock, horn, or eagle.
In God of All Things, pastor and author Andrew Wilson invites you to rediscover God in this way, too--through ordinary, everyday things. He explores the idea of a material world and presents a variety of created marvels that reveal the gospel in everyday life and fuel worship and joy in God--marvels like:
- Dust: the image of God
- Horns: the salvation of God
- Donkeys: the peace of God
- Water: the life of God
- Viruses: the problem of God
- Cities: the kingdom of God
God of All Things will leave you with a deeper understanding of Scripture, the world you live in, and the God who made it all.
