多年前，肯尼因對上帝失去信心而離開教會，如今他重回教會，站在會眾面前，分享自己如何重拾信心。他告訴大家，上帝讓他看見了受造物的美麗與精巧的設計，藉此感動了他的心。肯尼見證了上帝的普遍啟示，看見上帝藉著受造萬物彰顯了自己，使他再次對上帝心存敬畏。現在，他憑著信心接受聖經中特殊啟示的智慧。在分享了自己的經歷之後，肯尼踏進教會前方的受浸池中，而他身為牧師的父親眼中含著歡喜的淚水，憑著肯尼對耶穌的信心為他施洗。

約伯失去財富、兒女和健康之後，信心也動搖了。他說：「上帝啊，我向祢呼求，祢卻不回答；我站在祢面前，祢看也不看」（約伯記30章20節，新普及譯本）。上帝「從旋風中回答約伯」（38章1節），表明這並不是上帝沒有看見約伯，而是約伯需要擴大眼界，需要思想上帝奇妙精心的創造。例如「大地根基」和「晨星」（4、7節），以及天地間所有的生物、植物和水（8-41節），都指向約伯能全然信靠的那位創造主，那位具有奇妙的大愛與大能的上帝。約伯回應：「我從前風聞有祢，現在親眼看見祢。」（42章5節）

當懷疑使你對基督的信心動搖時，想想上帝奇妙偉大的創造。只要我們仔細觀察，便能看見祂在其中彰顯了自己。

Kenny stood before the congregation he’d left years before after he’d lost faith in God. He shared that his belief had been restored. How? God had touched his heart through the beauty and design he saw in creation. Kenny was in awe of Him once more through the witness of God’s general revelation seen in the natural world, and he now embraced the wisdom found in the special revelation of Scripture. After sharing his story, Kenny stepped into the tank of water at the front of the sanctuary. His father, tears of joy in his eyes, baptized him based on his faith in Jesus.

After he’d lost much in life, Job’s faith had also been shaken. He said, “I cry to you, O God, but you don’t answer. I stand before you, but you don’t even look” (Job 30:20 nlt). God “spoke to Job out of the storm” (38:1), declaring that it wasn’t about Him not seeing Job but that Job’s vision needed to be expanded as he considered God’s amazing, intricate creation. The “earth’s foundation” and the “morning stars” (vv. 4, 7) and all the creatures, plants, and waters found between (vv. 8-41), pointed to the one whom Job could trust—the God of amazing love and power. Job responded by saying, “My ears had heard of you but now my eyes have seen you” (42:5).

When doubts threaten your faith in Christ, consider the magnificence of God’s creation. He reveals Himself in it if we only have eyes to see.
