THE HEAVENS DECLARE.

Psalm 19: 1 – 6



When the great physicist Albert Einstein was asked if he believed in God, he responded: “We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human beings toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.” (ODB)


1 God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
2 Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening.
3 Their words aren’t heard, their voices aren’t recorded,
4 But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. God makes a huge dome for the sun—a superdome!
5 The morning sun’s a new husband leaping from his honeymoon bed, The daybreaking sun an athlete racing to the tape.
6 That’s how God’s Word vaults across the skies from sunrise to sunset, Melting ice, scorching deserts, warming hearts to faith.


There are times, especially in the Autumn, that I sit in an Adirondack chair out in my yard and watch the sky as it turns from day to night. There is a special time called the Gloaming when the sun gives everything a kind of golden hue, then comes the dusk and finally evening. As I watch the sky change from blue to black and the stars slowly appear, I just marvel at the daily miracle God has provided for us to witness.
It is at times like this that I wonder, “How can some people doubt that God exists.”

The next clear night we have, go out and see the miracle of God written in the heavens.
You will be impressed.
