PARABLE:  
A famous band was on Beach Stage. Huge festival crowd excitedly watched, danced, sang along. But... a little boy was excitedly focused on a treasure he found in the sand: 
A special rock. 
His parents looked at each other & shrugged. 
I turned my head away so they wouldn't see me laughing.
I've always loved that CALVIN & HOBBES exemplified the title of 
Bill Watterson's book:   THERE'S TREASURE EVERYWHERE.
 
SO WHAT ??
Too many people think growing up means calling Nature's miracles "ordinary"--       "It's just a rock".
Romans 1--   we just look & see God's Treasures: 
A weed as detailed as an orchid, a chirping red robin, 
sparkling mica chips like diamonds on the rock...

What does LORD God say ??  ROMANS 1: 16 on
18 For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who suppress the truth in unrighteousness,  
19 because what may be known of God is manifest
 in them, for God has shown it to them. 
20    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,  
21 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.  
22 Professing to be wise, they became fools, 
23 and changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like corruptible man—and birds and four-footed animals and creeping things.
24 Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, 25 who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
