THE GLORY OF GOD
Psalm 19:1 says “the heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands”
King David was right. If our sun, billions of stars is so powerful, how much more powerful is the One who made all suns! He is called “the Father of lights » See James 1:17, Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows.
The sun’s strength is strictly controlled. If the sun changed its course even a little, all life on our planet would end. Everything is in perfect place for life to exist on this earth. See Hebrews 3: 4, For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything. Look closely at the simplest leaf in nature. It is far better planned than a house. It has tiny openings for the flow of gases. Its green coloring catches sunlight and uses it for energy. Its veins carry watery food from the soil. It is more like a highly ordered city. And that just one leaf. We have not considered jungles and forest full of different plants. We have not pointed out the way the many, many kinds of land and sea animals, nor all that it takes to provide them life. Read Psalm 147:8–9, He covers the sky with clouds; He supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.
The realities about God and your life can be clearly seen. How ? Being understood from what has been made. Just looking at the wonderful creation around us helps us to know about God and His goodness. See Psalm 107:8–9, Let them give thanks to the Lord for His unfailing love and His wonderful deeds for men, for He satisfies the thirsty and fills the hungry with good things.
We know of the wind’s presence by its effect as it moves dust and leaves. In a far greater way we know things about God by the effect of His work in our life and around us. God has made it clear to those who are willing to look. That is why people (You and I) have « no excuse » when they twist the truth about God.
Some one else may have ideas about a certain situation, good! But hope and faith in God through Christ stand for your best option, because, it is Him God who create, judge, redeem and make perfect. Read Hebrews 12 : 2, Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. See 1st Chronicles 4:9–10, Jabez was more honorable than his brothers. His mother had named him Jabez, saying, I gave birth to him in pain. Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my terrotory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain. And God granted his request. Also read Psalm 86:1–4, Hear, O Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am devoted to you. You are my God; save your servant who trusts in you. Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, for to you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
May the Glory of God shine in our life. Amen.
