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 display knowledge. — Psalm 19:1-2.
God’s voice is always speaking through his creation. His witnesses give testimony to his glory, majesty, and creative grace. The universe shouts with joy that behind its intricate beauty, astounding powers, and marvelous wonders is the One who gave it life, purpose, order, specificity, and intention. The apostle Paul said something similar when he wrote to the Corinthians:
…what may be known about God is plain to them, because God has made it plain to them. For since the creation of the world, God’s invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse. (Romans 1:19-20).
The Creator is magnificent and glorious. All his creation—with its vast expanses of the universe, dazzling array of stars and planets, intricate patterns of beauty, incredible variety of species and terrain, and wonderful motion and forces—proclaims his glory!
Are we listening to the voice behind it all, or are we simply taking it for granted?
