“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork†(Psalm 19:1).
As we conclude our devotions this week on the account of the Creation, let us think about how God’s glory is proved in it. I haven’t traveled much beyond my own state, but within my state I have seen God’s handiwork. There are scenic places such as the Ozark hills and the beautiful springs of southwest Missouri. I have been to California and Colorado and seen some very majestic sights. I never dreamed I’d ever get to see the ocean but stood in awe when my eyes got to behold its beauty back in the summer of 2005. The following year I was privileged to view some other awesome sights out in Colorado Springs. At the top of Pike’s Peak I thought of “How Great Thou Art†more than “America the Beautiful.†If you have ever been there with the high altitude you know it is very “breath-taking.†Seriously, I don’t regret the drive up there and its picturesque view.
Even to look at a blade of grass, a single flower, an autumn leaf, or a snowflake is to see the glory of God within His creation. How anyone can look about and see anything God has made and say there is no God is beyond my comprehension. We may, at times, take creation for granted. However, even when we don’t take time to praise God for all we enjoy on this earth, His other creation will always “declare the glory of God.â€
