Our scripture this morning is Psalms 19:1-2 (NLT).
The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known.
God’s glory doesn’t have to be spoken in words. His work speaks for itself. Who but our Creator could have made all that is and integrated it seamlessly together? It is certainly beyond any capability we have.
In Psalms 66:1-2 we read “Shout joyful praises to God, all the earth! Sing about the glory of his name! Tell the world how glorious he is.” All creation is intended to offer God praise for its very existence, and that includes us. Psalms 100:3 tells us “Acknowledge that the Lord is God! He made us, and we are his. We are his people, the sheep of his pasture.”
Paul writes “For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God” (Romans 1:20). We see God’s hand in all there is, given to us in trust. We are called to care for His creation, especially each other.
Heavenly Father, without You there is nothing. Help us to see our blessing, and share that wonderful love with all Your children. Amen.
