Psalm 19:1-4 (HCSB)
1 The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.
2 Day after day they pour out speech; night after night they communicate knowledge.
3 There is no speech; there are no words; their voice is not heard.
4 Their message has gone out to all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.
Observation:
I can understand when people look around, and look down, I can comprehend why they may say, "There is no God". However, I cannot understand, neither can I comprehend, how one can look up beyond the mountains and say, "There is no God".
Psalm 121:1-2 (HCSB)
1 I lift my eyes toward the mountains. Where will my help come from?
2 My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
In our text, we see how God witnesses to us through nature. In the following verses, God speaks to us through His Word.
Psalm 19:7-11 (HCSB)
7 The instruction of the LORD is perfect, renewing one's life; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, making the inexperienced wise.
8 The precepts of the LORD are right, making the heart glad; the command of the LORD is radiant, making the eyes light up.
9 The fear of the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the ordinances of the LORD are reliable and altogether righteous.
10 They are more desirable than gold— than an abundance of pure gold; and sweeter than honey, which comes from the honeycomb.
11 In addition, Your servant is warned by them; there is great reward in keeping them.
Do you know the God of the Word? He wants to know you. Why not look up to the heavens, and see His handiwork. Then, look into His Word, and listen as He speaks into your heart.
Psalm 119:10-11 (HCSB)
10 I have sought You with all my heart; don't let me wander from Your commands.
11 I have treasured Your word in my heart so that I may not sin against You.
Prayer:
Father, as we lift our eyes to the heavens, we see You in all of Your glory, and splendor.
Father, as we look into Your Word, we see Your love, forgiveness, grace, and tender mercies. Father, as You reveal Yourself to us, I pray that we will believe, and receive Your promises, and Your blessings. In the mighty name of Jesus we pray, Amen.
Isaiah 55:11 (KJV)
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
