God Is Found in the Things He Made, January 11
黎明的灵修-第11章
“自从造天地以来,上帝的永能和神性,是明明可知,虽是眼不能见,但藉着所造之物,就可以晓得,叫人无可推诿”(罗1:20)。[1]

Where Can We Find God?
For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.Romans 1:20.{WGD 13.1}[1]
黎明的灵修-第11章
在论到物质的定律与自然界的定律一事上,许多人如果不是故意否认,便是忽视上帝继续不断的直接作为。据他们所表示的意见,认为自然界是独自行动而与上帝无关的,据其自有的范围及权力而工作。在他们的意识中,自然与超自然二者之间,有显著的区别。自然的事物归于一般的因果,而与上帝的权能无关。他们将生命之能归因于物质,并使自然成了神。他们以为物与物之间存有种种的相互关系,并依据各种固有的定律而运行,就是上帝自己也无法干预;自然界因赋有种种特性,并受各项定律之管制,而不得不服从这些定律,以执行其原始所命定的任务。[2]
黎明的灵修-第11章
In dwelling upon the laws of matter and the laws of nature, many lose sight of, if they do not deny, the continual and direct agency of God. They convey the idea that nature acts independently of God, having in and of itself its own limits and its own powers wherewith to work. In their minds there is a marked distinction between the natural and the supernatural. The natural is ascribed to ordinary causes, unconnected with the power of God. Vital power is attributed to matter, and nature is made a deity. It is supposed that matter is placed in certain relations, and left to act from fixed laws, with which God Himself can not interfere; that nature is endowed with certain properties, and placed subject to laws, and is then left to itself to obey these laws, and perform the work originally commanded.{WGD 13.2}[2]
黎明的灵修-第11章
这乃是虚伪的科学;在上帝的圣言中是毫无根据的。上帝并未废去衪所定的规律,乃是继续以之作为工具而使用。这些定律并不能自起作用。上帝不断地在自然界中运行。自然乃是衪的仆役,衪可按自已的意思指挥它。自然界的作用,无非是证明有一位全智全能的神在那里随自己的旨意安排主持并运行一切。大地之所以年年生产百物,而且绕日旋转不已的,并非靠赖大自然原有的能力。乃是那位无限权能者的手,在不息地引导这个行星。地球之所以维持它转动的方位,全赖乎上帝所时刻施展的大能。(8T 259)[3]
黎明的灵修-第11章
This is false science; there is nothing in the Word of God to sustain it. God does not annul His laws, but He is continually working through them, using them as His instruments. They are not self-working. God is perpetually at work in nature. She is His servant, directed as He pleases. Nature in her work testifies of the intelligent presence and active agency of a Being who moves in all His works according to His will. It is not by an original power inherent in nature that year by year the earth yields its bounties, and continues its march around the sun. The hand of infinite power is perpetually at work guiding this planet. It is God’s power momentarily exercised that keeps it in position in its rotation.—Testimonies for the Church 8:259.{WGD 13.3}[3]
