The Heavens Tell Out the Glory of God

Readings:
Psalm 19
Galatians 4:12-20

Focus:
Psalm 19:1: "The heavens tell out the glory of God, heaven's vault makes known his handiwork."

It is impossible not to know about God's greatness and glory. All we have to do is look around us in nature. When we see the immenseness of the universe with all the stars, and when we look at the majesty of the mountains, we can see what awesome magnificence belongs to God.

Sometimes people mistake this and think that it means that God is in everything and everything is part of God. But actually God made everything. It is a reflection of his greatness and splendor, but not part of his being.

The wonder and brilliance of creation shows us what a magnificent God we have--full of power and glory. And yet he loves us individually and tenderly. That is beyond wonderful.
