See God's glory!



Good morning folks. Let's get right into our devotion for today! Here are today's verses:

Psalm 19

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their line[a] has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.

We studied this psalm in Sunday school last week and it has stuck with me ever since. I am a hunter and have seen the sunrise many times. If you have never seen the sunrise you are missing a blessing from God...so plan a day to rise early and see what God does everyday! The sunset is awesome too! Verse 1 tells us that the heavens and the stars decalre God's glory. Have you ever looked up and seen the stars on a clear night?? WOW They show the awesome handiwork of God. He created that...it is hard for us to really comprehend that. Verse 2 tells us how the days and nights speak to us and reveal knowledge to us. Knowledge of what??? God!!! Look at what each day and night brings to us... more time to see His creation and learn more about how much He loves us and has blessed us with life. Are you looking for God each day? He is revealing Himslef but we must be looking for Him! Verse 3 tells us how God reveals Himslef through creation to all. Every language understands the voice of creation...that is God. Verse 4 tells us the this message(line) goes through out the entire world. I believe this is how those who don't have the written word of God have the opportunity to recieve Jesus. God reveals it to them through His creation. The latter part of verse 4-6 talks about the sun. How awesome it is as it rises from one end and moves across the sky to the other end. The verses tell of its strength and its heat and how it touches everything. This also reveals the glory of God. God touches everything through His creation. We are all affected by His creation daily. He created all of this for us. Think about it....if the sun was a little closer we would fry. If it was a little further away we would freeze to death. All of His creation design was put into place with us in mind so we would give Him glory and praise. So we would have a relationship with Him. Then on top of all that He sent His son Jesus to die for us so we can dwell with Him for eternity. The more I write the more I feel unworthy so I am gonna stop here.

God's creation shows us His glory...do you see it? Praise Him today and everyday for He alone is worthy!
