David Ould: Being Molded by the Scriptures
This is the eleventh in a series of Lenten devotionals by a
group of Anglican bloggers and friends. Today’s entry is by David Ould of the Drinking at the Whitehorse Inn blog. You can read other entries in the series here.

Excerpt: "The heavens declare the glory of God. It’s hard to deny, isn’t it, when standing upon a mountain peak or when looking out at the starry sky with stars too many to number and too beautiful to put into words, that there isn’t a God. The very Creation itself screams it out, it almost demanding that we give glory to God; that we acknowledge not only His existence but His right to be given all the glory honour and power (Rev. 4:11).

But the reality of the situation is that the vast majority of the population of the world do no such thing. There is little if no acknowledgement of a creator God and certain no affirmation of His true nature. Not that we are suprised, of course. Because lined up on the battlefield against the awesome truth of God declared in Creation is set up the most destructive power thatever took up battle with the Almighty; sin."
