I recently spent some time in Alaska. I was impressed by the beauty of what God has made- the snow-covered mountains, the icy waters, the tall evergreens in the expansive forest, the variety of plants, the birds, and the marine life.

I visited a local museum while I was there and saw ancient artifacts from the people that first made their home in this rugged climate. I was amazed at their ingenuity, inventiveness, and sheer will to bloom where they were planted. They created fashionable clothing, utensils, toys, art, watercraft, and so much more! Upon hearing their history and the wonderful legends they tell, I was inspired to create a legend of my own; a story that could be retold by generations. However, I heard nothing about God in their historical account. Did any of the people believe in Him? The Bible says creation testifies of the Creator.

“For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see His invisible qualities- His eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.” Romans 1:20

How sad to think that anyone could be surrounded by such beauty and miss the One who created it. Years from now when people look at my history, will my connection with God be obvious? What about yours?
