The heavens declare…

Posted on May 10, 2011 Posted by Blue Letter Bible

[footage is from the intro of the movie Contact]

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above1 proclaims his handiwork.
Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
Their voice2 goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
In them he has set a tent for the sun,
which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
ts rising is from the end of the heavens,
and its circuit to the end of them,
and there is nothing hidden from its heat.

—Psalm 19:1-6 ESV

The great expanse of the universe bears witness to its Maker. When we sing of the glory of God or declare His majesty to those around us, we are joining a song that the galaxies have been singing since time first began.

How great is our God.

[1]19:1
Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6-8
[2]19:4
Or Their measuring line

    I’m not much on blogging but the other night a friend invited me to watch a dvd entitled “the privileged planet.” this little viewing “contact zoom out from earth” inspired me to let anyone interested to see “the privileged planet”. indeed the heavens do declare….”glory to God”. This earth must have been created by intelligent design and there is no one better to ascribe it to than God Almighty.

      The Godhead Three in One
      Father Spirit Son
      The Lion and the Lamb
      The Lion and the Lamb

      Name above all names
      Worthy of our praise
      My heart will sing
      How great is our God
