Some truths are so close to our faces that they are hard to see. If recognizing God as the creator is hard for us and for society in general to see, then remembering that we are created by His design is also a truth we often forget. God knows that because of sin we walk in ignorance and that if we have any hope of knowing Him, He needs to show Himself to us. In Acts 17, Paul preached a worldview that was strange and hard for the Greek people to accept: You don’t make God with your hands like an artist makes a carving. God is the one who makes life and gave us life. These truths are so obvious that stepping back to relearn them shows us how blind we can be. We forget that we were given life. We forget that God is our powerful creator. But it is with these basic truths that God answers our big life questions. When you realize that God created you and that He is not a creator who has left you alone, you can go to Him and get to know both yourself and the purpose He created you for.
