Just by observing the wonder of nature, we will come to the conclusion that there is a God, and that He created all things and He has also put an order to creation.
Even for those who do not believe in the existence of God, they will have to acknowledge that there is some power or force or energy that works in creation.
So the wonder and beauty of creation keeps pointing to something else, and for us who have faith, then all creation points to God the Creator.
But as the gospel parables put it, there are still many things that we do not know about creation, and also many things that we do not know about God.
Just as we do not really know how a plant grows from a seed, how a tiny mustard seed can grow into a tree, we do not really know the ways of God and His plans for us.
And we also may not understand the contradictions of life, like those mentioned in the 1st reading.
So we may have questions about why we have to suffer even though we believe in God, or why bad people keep doing bad things and the good people keep suffering.
We only need to pray for endurance to do God’s will and to live by faith so as to gain an eternal reward.
God sees what we can’t see, and God knows what we do not know.
Let us put our trust in God and we will see the wonder and the beauty of His plans for us.
