God reveals His thoughts to His people just as
surely as He formed the mountains, named the stars and makes night follow each day
(Psalm 42:8, 90:2, 147:4). He stretches out the heavens over the foundations of
the earth, which He set in place (Job 9:8-10).
God created mankind and all of the universe. Nothing
is too challenging for Him (Jeremiah 32:27). He always existed and He will
remain forever throughout eternity.
God thought about every contingency before He
created humanity, the heavens and the earth. We have the sun to light the day
and the moon and stars to light the night.
His reign over the universe continues throughout
every generation (Lamentations 5:19; Daniel 4:3). God creates the winds in
their seasons (Amos 4:13).
He even has fun with the waves of the sea by
stirring them up into mountains of mighty water (Jeremiah 31:35). He gives us
signs of His existence in the mighty wonders He created (Romans 1:20; Daniel
4:3).
If we could ask the earth, animal, fish or birds, they
would teach us that the hand of the Lord created us all, and in His hand is the
life of every creature and the breath of all mankind (Job 12:7-10).
Each day, the heavens declare the glory of the Lord
and the wondrous works of His hands. In every land on the earth, everyone can
hear the heavens and earth declaring the existence of God (Psalm 19:1-4; Romans
1:20).
The great creatures of the ocean depths; the rain,
snow and hail; the stormy winds; mountains, fruit trees and firs, wild and
domestic animals, and even the rodents and birds all do God's bidding (Psalm
148:7-10).
The heavens and earth rejoice, the seas roar, the
fields exult, and the trees of the forest sing for joy, because the Lord is
coming again to earth in His righteousness and faithfulness (Psalm 96:11-13).
Prayer:
Father God, You tread the high places of the earth
and the earth is Your footstool (Micah 1:3; Zechariah 12:1). Although You are
involved in every detail of nature around us, You also formed Your Spirit
within each and every Born Again Believer (Zechariah 12:1).
We can never thank You enough for sharing Your
Kingdom with everyone willing to surrender to Your love. We pray that You will
draw all of our loved ones to Your heart, until they stop resisting Your love
and grace.
Thought for the Day:
If people fail to
praise God, even the rocks will cry out to honor and praise Him.
