Glorious Heavens

The heavens declare the glory of God...their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.  Psalm 19: 1, 4 NIV

To see a clear night sky away from light pollution is to be amazed.  Millions of twinkling stars fill our field of vision. We are reminded of all the wonders up in the sky: the galaxies in their astoundingly colourful shapes, the planets in our solar system that are all so distinctly different, the comets that whiz by the earth in  blazing streaks, and so much more. Every year astronomers discover more wonderful things in our cosmos and share photographs that are awe-inspiring. No wonder the psalmist wrote that the heavens declare the glory of God.  All nations in the world experience the incredible beauty of the heavens, in daytime and nighttime. The voice of God is heard resoundingly all over the earth.  How important it is to look up and listen to God's eternal melody.

I pray that I will take the time to gaze at the heavens, day and night, and ponder the glory of God. I thank God that He has given us such a clear expression of his majesty and creative power.  I am so amazed at the   immensity of our universe, and yet God sees even me.  And He loves me, too.
