30 Days 30 Psalms -- Day 7

Psalm 19

Psalm 19 is a wonderful Psalm that presents us with two of the ways that God reveals Himself in the world. One of the ways God makes Himself known is through creation. This Psalm tells us, "The heavens declare the glory of God, and the skys declare the work of His hands."

The beauty of the sun, moon and stars tell us about the power of the creator. When I observe the glorious things that God has made, I am amazed by His power. Just to think of all the animals, birds and other creatures that God has made boggles the mind. Seeing this great creation allows us to know more about what our God is like.

There is another way that God speaks to us. That is through His word revealed to us in the Bible. God has given us His laws, statutes, precepts and commands. God has not hidden His requirements and knowledge of Himself from the human race. God provided His word by inspiring the writers of the Bible through the power of the Holy Spirit. God gave His laws to His people through Moses.

All of us have the opportunity to know about the Lord. We just have to take the time to open up the Bible and read it. Why would you not want to know as much as possible about the creator of the universe?

What amazes me is that the God who created everything loves me and cares about what happens to me. He cared about all of us so much that He gave us His Son as an atonement for sin. Praise be to God.
