"Ways in Which We can Learn About Jehovah"

By: Lenin G. Zapata

Art, as it relates to painting, sculpture, and design, receives little attention in the Bible. Yet man’s life began, not in a barren field, but in a garden, a paradise with trees not only "good for food" but also "desirable to one’s sight."

 

Man was made to appreciate beauty, and the unsurpassed beauty, artistry, and design manifest in creation—evokes praise for their divine Creator. Yes, from the highest of hights to the depths of the sea - creation, is revealing HIS MAJESTY! Notice the way Romans 1:20 brings this out.

So, then by observing the created world around us "WE CAN LEARN ABOUT JEHOVAH"

 

(READ - 1 Timothy 4:15) - What did Paul mean when he wrote : "Ponder over these things"? Well, to Ponder, is a kind of deep, concentrated thinking in which a person seriously reflects on past experiences, ponders over current matters, or thoughtfully contemplates possible future events. In order to meditate properly, a person needs to be free from distractions, alone with his thoughts, so to speak.

Ps 63:6, Highlights that, It was during the solitude of the night watches that the psalmist meditated on the greatness of his Grand Creator. The meditations of the heart should be focused on beneficial things, on Jehovah’s splendor and activities, on things pleasing to him.

 

For example, take a good look at your inner self for a moment, are your actions, motives and intentions of the heart in tune with Jehovah's righteous standards? GODLY principles? Are they in line with the fruitage of the spirit? If not, this is a serious matter and something to "Ponder" on?

 

How else can we learn about Jehovah? The gatherings for the worship of Jehovah and a consideration of his law were important in ancient Israel. In a similar way, meetings for the worship of Jehovah and a study of the Scriptures are an essential feature of the "TRUE" Christian congregation of God. (READ - Hebrews 10:24,25)

 

Jehovah finds pleasure in the exercise of his powers, whether in creation or otherwise, his works always having a real purpose and a good motive and as the Generous Giver of "every good gift and every perfect present," he takes delight in rewarding his faithful sons and daughters with many, many blessings. (READ - James 1:5)

 

Yes friends, weather we sit back and enjoy the stars of heaven and marvel at the created world around us, if we meditate on Jehovah's greatness, his righteous standards, his Godly principles, if we gather with his servants in true worship and ask him for wisdom, all these avenues are "Ways in Which We Can Learn About Jehovah"
