Weather Report From Heaven: Sunny and bright, with an abundance of light and lots of singing and rejoicing.
Scripture- 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.”
Insight: As we continue our look into the lessons of King David, and why he was the only person ever called “a man after God’s own heart,” in Acts 13:22, we need to consider why God said that about him. We have considered many aspects of David’s life to see what made him so fervent in his relationship with God. One area we can consider today is his ability to always be in awe of God’s beautiful Creation. David was aware of his surroundings and spent lots of time gazing at the stars and the sky and the solar system and considered all the things God’s hands had made. He knew that the Universe was the result of an intricate and perfect design by the Master Creator that held everything up in its perfect place and that reflected His incredible power. As humans, we should never grow tired or weary from being blown away by our awesome Creator and by the works of His hands. All we need to do is to look into the night sky on a clear, crisp night or through a telescope to see the celestial magnificence of what God has created. The fact that nothing is an accident and everything was created by the work of a Master Creator, who holds everything in place and in the palm of His hand should never not be amazing. The fact that planets aren’t crashing into each other, or that we are not being burned up by being too close or freezing to death from being too far away from the Sun is reason to be in awe of God’s perfect design by itself. David took lots of time to reflect on and to find amazement in God’s glorious creation. This is something that we know brought him alignment in his relationship with who God was and who David was. To be in awe of an Omnipotent God is another way of worshipping Him. David got this right and so should we. It’s as simple as noticing what is all around us in nature and in the sky and taking time to praise the One who created it all.
Prayer: Father God, thank you for the wonder and beauty of your Creation. Help us to always be in awe of it and to marvel at all your hands have made. Amen!
