The heavens declare …



“And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints. For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD? God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him. O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?”  (Psalm 89:5-8, KJV)

  We gaze up into the heavens and we see tiny spots of brilliant light. Some are stars that are dying and some are stars being born.  We long to recognize the planets and constellations and galaxies.  Beyond the flickering lights we can barely see are the countless others that we cannot see. We cannot begin to comprehend the size of each star nor the number of the stars in a single galaxy. Still beyond those staggering dimensions and quantities are the galaxies yet unknown.  Such is the vastness of the heavens above us.

     What we see and know is such a minuscule part of the vastness of the world and the heavens.   What we believe and know is such a minuscule part of the vastness of God and yet He created the world and the heavens.  So how much greater is God and His love than the vastness of the world and the heavens we see.  Oh the wonders of God, we have yet to see!!! 

Suggested Reading … Psalm 89
