"imagination can portray. In the varied gifts of God in nature we see but the faintest gleaming of his glory. It is written, “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.” [ 1 Corinthians 2:9 .] CE 55.2"
"But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him."
Ellen White directly references 1 Corinthians 2:9 in this passage.
"The poet and the naturalist have many things to say about nature, but it is the Christian who enjoys the beauty of the earth with the highest appreciation, because he recognizes his Father's handiwork, and perceives his love in flower and shrub and tree. No one can fully appreciate the significance of hill and vale, river and sea, who does not look upon them as an expression of God's love to man. CE 55.3"
"For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:"
Both passages connect the appreciation of nature with the recognition of God's presence and love. EGW emphasizes the Christian's higher appreciation of nature as God's handiwork, while Romans 1:20 states that God's invisible qualities are understood through creation. The connection is strong and relevant.
