For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, because, although they knew God, they did not glorify Him as God, nor were thankful, but became futile in their thoughts, and their foolish hearts were darkened. (Romans 1:20-21)
To be able to see God in nature.
To see the beauty of God in nature.
How many of us can, or actually do?
But be careful... Nature is not God. We don't stand in awe of the beauty of nature and then bow before it.
We behold the beauty in nature, and through it, stand in awe of a Creator God who has such an eye for beauty and details. That shows He wasn't hasty when He created the world. And He definitely wasn't hasty when He created us.
For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.
(Psalms 139:13-14)

Romans is a hard read...
I feel like I can only relate to certain verses. And something our RE teachers have been emphasising to us is how the world has become, how people will become ungrateful, disobedient, foolish, and evil. Yes, have to be watchful.
I like that verse Psalms 139:13-14
