“Where Were You When I Laid

The Earth’s Foundation?”

Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone— while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

Job 38:1-7

One of NASA’s observatories has discovered a giant black hole that hums. It is located in the Perseus cluster of galaxies about 250 million light years from Earth. The black hole vibrates at the frequency of B flat. It is too low a pitch to be picked up by the human ear. Scientific instruments have placed the note at 57 octaves below middle C on a piano.

There is nothing new about music and heavenly bodies. We are told that at the creation of our marvelous universe, songs of praise and shouts of joy resounded to God’s glory.

Let’s praise the One who made such beauty for us to enjoy!

The beauty of creation gives us reasons to sing God’s praise.
