The Heavens Declare the Glory of God!

God created the earth! All things were created for His glory and praise. (Genesis 2; Psalm 148). Last night Bill and I went to the Corn Maze in McCintosh and it was the most beautiful evening ever, here in central Florida. It was on the Perryman's farm, a hilly area with open spaces and a gloriously clear sky. We took a hayride in the 57 degree weather with just 2 mosquitos, a bright full moon and a myriad of stars. There was even a falling star! I felt God's presence and was in amazement (no pun intended. Ha!). This morning I opened the Bible to Psalms 19:1-4. "The Heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. Day after day pours forth speech and night after night shows forth knowledge. There is no speech nor spoken word (from the stars); their voice is not heard (with the ear). Yet their voice (in evidence) goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world..." I noticed on the hayride a sense of joy and awe beholding the majesty and the glory of God in the heavens. In Romans 1:19-25 we see that the creation reveals God's invisible nature and attributes, His eternal power and divinity. God makes it plain to mankind and shows it to us Himself. There is a great creator. It was obvious to me and I believe to all of us on that hayride last night. Thank You Father that You gave us the signs in the heavens that clearly declare your existence! I praise You and You are worthy of all praise and glory!
