Power

"For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse."

(Romans 1:20)

The geothermal features of Yellowstone National Park are the most awe-inspiring thing I have ever seen. Other than Old Faithful, nothing else impressed my kids all that much. But I insisted on stopping at every single geyser, fumarole, and hot spring that we passed. I was obsessed.

There was such diversity. Geysers erupting in different sizes and shapes and on different time tables. Fumaroles belching out their gases. Hot springs in all the colors of the rainbow, alongside bubbling mud pots and paint pots of various shades.

It felt as if we had stumbled onto an alien planet, finding ourselves surrounded by an other-worldly mist and the reek of sulphur. The geothermal features around us just barely hinting at the unimaginable power fueling them beneath the surface. A glimpse of the eternal power and divine nature of the One who created them.
