The Glory Of God

 

 

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

 

God wants us to enjoy what He has created. He does not want us to destroy it. He wants us to appreciate the ebbing and flowing of the tides, and to be able to watch a sunrise and sunset on the ocean and to see the different colors of the earth at the Grand Canyon. He wants us to enjoy watching lightning on a summer evening, or to watch our grandchildren grow up.

 

We should be grateful for all these things.

 

God’s glory shines through His creation.
