| “The heavens declare the glory of God…” |
| —Psalm 19:1a |
Some people assert there is no God. They look around and all they see seems to them like the result of some grand accident.
When we “Christ’s-ones” look around us at the marvels of creation, we see the creative hand of the triune God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Image of God within us gives ready testimony that the God who loves us has created all things.
The Psalmist stood in awe at God’s creative work when he wrote these words in Psalm 19:1-2:
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.
A high school classmate of mine went on to graduate from the U.S. Air Force Academy and become a pilot during the time period at the end of the Viet Nam War. In a newspaper interview for the hometown newspaper, he tried to describe what it was like to fly a jet fighter plane. He used the phrase “surrounded by the hand of God.”
As we take off into this new day, let us rejoice that we are truly surrounded by the hands of the God who loves us with His everlasting love. And, as we look at all He has created around us, let us rejoice in knowing that we belong to the One who has created everything in the heavens and on earth.
