“It seems to me that part of what the Bible is suggesting to us is that we can look around our everyday lives and say, “Here I am looking out my window at this magnolia tree. That’s not just a beautiful tree, and it’s not just something that was created by God. It actually is telling me something about who God is, because God describes God’s self as a tree in Hosea.”
We have this powerful invitation from Scripture that the good things God created and put in our world—that please us and delight us—those things don’t just please and delight us: They actually contain hints about who God is and what our relationship with God can be like.” ~ Lauren Winner in an interview with Relevant Magazine
