See the Glory of God 

“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.” (Psalm 19: 2) 

Each day the sun rises and sets.  Each night the moon reflects the light of the sun, lighting the darkness.  The seed falls to the ground and dies, giving birth to a new plant to feed us.  The rain falls to the earth, providing water for the sustenance of all.  And still people say they don’t see the glory of God.

On average our heart beats over two and a half billion times and we take nearly seven hundred million breaths in our lifetime.  Our blood travels about twelve thousand miles each day, about four times the distance from coast to coast.  But people say God does not exist.

The universe expands at a frightening rate and yet there is logic in its’ expansion.  In our little corner of the universe each planet is set perfectly in relationship to the sun.  We do not crash into the sun, nor do we sail off into the depths of the universe.  Earth is precisely where it must be if it is to support the human, animal, and plant life that we enjoy.  And yet there are those who refuse to recognize God’s part in this perfection.

I am amazed at the number of  people say they don’t believe in God when the evidence is everywhere we look.  “For this people’s heart has grown dull, and their ears are hard of hearing, and they have shut their eyes; so they might not look with their eyes and listen with their ears, and understand with their hearts and turn – and I would heal them.” (Matt 13: 15).

 

Your majesty is all around us.

Your glory is there for all to see.

Yet there are those who refuse to see.

Open their eyes that they might come to know You.

 

Amen
