The Stars Declare Their Maker's Praise

Lessons from Psalms: 15

“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the earth shows His handiwork.” Psalm 19:1

The skeptic and the atheist look up into the night sky and ask, “How did this all begin?” Then they draw their false conclusion that it was a giant accident. They see the perfect order of the heavens and only see the chaos of a giant explosion. They see the stars that have guided sailors for millennia but only see random chance in motion. They see the work of God but deny Him in their delusion of self importance.

The Christian has a better view of the sky without the most powerful telescopes available to man. They have the eyes of God to see what is really there. There is pattern and symmetry and continuity and beauty. We see the creative God the Father maker of heaven and earth. We see the fixed promises of God that have proven seeds of hope to multiple generations of mankind. We see strength to make it and wisdom to make it right. To assure Abraham of God’s promises, He told him to look at the stars. To assure all mankind of who He is and why He alone is worthy of worship and praise He tells us all to look at the stars. They declare Him!

Dear Father, Thank You for the visual effects that declare our Maker’s praise. Amen. 

The Friday Benediction

Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend.  Amen
