One writer shared his thoughts: “The world is putting on a show for you, if you’d just stop running long enough to watch it.” And yes, David noted that and put his thoughts on paper for all of us to read and to ponder. “The heavens declare the glory of God; the sky displays his handiwork.” Each morning as I sit with God and watch the sunrise or each evening as the sun sets in the west, this is what I yearn to carry with me. There is a praise song that we sing at church: “day and night, day and night, let incense rise…” Incense is the aroma of our prayers that the people of Israel clung to in uncertain times and it reminded them that although our days are governed by the 24 hour clock, God’s clock remains firmly placed in the heavens for us to see.
“Day after day it speaks out; night after night it reveals his greatness.There is no actual speech or word, nor is its voice literally heard. Yet its voice echoes throughout the earth; its words carry to the distant horizon.” Stop and ponder that phrase: no actual speech or word, yet as we observe the heavens His voice is there for us to “hear.” Are we listening or running? Are we steadfast, immovable always abounding in His work?
