Creation’s Song
Bible: Psalm 19:1-6
Reading
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of
his hands (V.1).
Outer space with its system of stars, suns and planets is amazing! Did you know that in the night sky, the stars don’t orbit in silence, but actually make music?! Like humpback whale sounds, the sound of the stars exists at wavelengths that can’t be heard by the human ear. Yet, the music of stars and whales and other creatures make music that sings of the greatness of God. Psalm 19:1-4 says, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands; day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”
In the New Testament, Paul says that in Jesus “all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible . . . all things have been created through him and for him” (COLOSSIANS 1:15). In response, the natural world’s heights and depths sing to the Maker of everything. May we join creation and make known the greatness of the One who “with the breadth of his hand marked off the [vast] heavens” (ISAIAH 40:12).
LET [US] PRAISE THE NAME OF THE LORD,
FOR AT HIS COMMAND [WE] WERE CREATED. PSALM 148:5
