Bizarre expe­ri­ence yes­ter­day after­noon just before the sun went down at Syd­ney Uni — the photo above was one of a bunch I snapped with my phone, and it really doesn’t do it any justice.

As I paused to take a few pho­tos, I realised that no fewer than 15 peo­ple were doing exactly the same thing!

I was reminded of the truth of Romans 1, which explains how God reveals him­self to every­one in cre­ation but how so many have turned to serve cre­ation, not the cre­ator. This doesn’t detract from the beauty or expe­ri­ence of cre­ation at all — instead, it frames every­thing within the beauty of a God who is inti­mately involved with and deeply cares for the world He cre­ated and sus­tains. Thank God for sunsets.
