The World a Mirror to Behold God - Calvin's Institutes 3

John Calvin states,

"...we cannot open our eyes without being compelled to behold him...first, wherever you turn your eyes, there is no portion of the world, however minute, that does not exhibit at least some sparks of beauty; while it is impossible to contemplate the vast and beautiful fabric as it extends around, without being overwhelmed by the immense weight of glory.  Hence, the author of the Epistle to the Hebrews, elegantly describes the visible worlds as images of the invisible (Heb. xi. 3), the elegant structure of the world serving us as a kind of mirror, in which we may behold God, though otherwise invisible."  The Institutues of the Christian Religion, Volume 1, 51.
