Declairing God’s Glory
In Psalm 19 King David wrote of God’s glory been declared in the heavens:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens God has pitched a tent for the sun. It is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, like a champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.” (Psalm 19:1-6)
What an amazing way to proclaim the creative power of God. In his description of the heavens, David both acknowledges, and proclaims the work of The Creator of the heavens and the earth. All he had were his natural eyes by which to both see, and marvel at the night sky with its vast array of twinkling lights. He had no knowledge of the vastness of the heavens as we do today. His faith was simple, he believed that God had created the heavens, the earth, and all there in. Some years later Isaiah would confirm David’s belief when he record The Lords declaration: “It is I who made the earth and created mankind on it. My own hands stretched out the heavens; I marshaled their starry hosts.” (Isaiah 45:12)
To the child of God, looking at the heavens is seeing the work of Our Creator laid out for all to see. As we witness the sun move across the sky we are reminded that Jesus is the Light of the world (John 8:12). Knowing this spiritual truth gives confidence to the born again believer when clouds overshadow our lives. Just as the sun continues to shine above the natural clouds, Jesus continues to shine His Everlasting Light above the clouds in our lives because, He is both Redeemer and Creator: “For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him”. (Colossians 1:16)
On the other hand, in their efforts to explain the universe, men have failed to grasp the unique, and the exclusive reason for its existence, that is; displaying God’s Glory. In our modern world of technology, the knowledge of God is ignored as too simple. Consequently, science continues to push on in an effort to find the source of the beginning of things as God’s revealed truth is rejected. However, the further they push into the universe, the more complex it becomes making their task never ending, while God’s Glory is without end.
Today, let us praise God for His Glory displayed in the heavens.
