Join With All Creation
The heavens declare the glory of God . . .
Psalm 19:1
Psalm 19 is David’s ode to God as Creator (v 1-6). In the verses that follow, however, his focus shifts to how he views the Scriptures (v 7-13). This abrupt shift has caused some scholars to question if these are two separate psalms. But God revealed Himself both in creation and in the Scriptures, and both are powerful expressions of who He is.
When King David reflected on God’s creation, he declared, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the firmament proclaim His handiwork” (v 1). As for the sun, “It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; and there is nothing is hidden from its heat.” Therefore, writes David, “The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul” (v 6-7). God’s glorious creation reflects the all-powerful Creator. Why not take time today to look to the skies and marvel in Him!
