The Heavens Declare 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

Jesus used nature as a teaching tool. We can see God around us, in our everyday lives. God dresses the flowers in splendor. If God clothes something temporary in such glory, He surely will do much more for us.

Scripture abounds with stories of the world we live in. Paul wrote, “For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His external power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse.”

God so loves us and wants us to know Him that He puts evidence of Himself everywhere we look.

In God’s pattern book of nature we can trace many valuable lessons.
