Verse of the Day 6/12

Verse of the Day 6/12

Psalm 19:1-2

New King James Version

The Perfect Revelation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

19 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament[a] shows 
His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,

And night unto night reveals knowledge.

As I read today's verses in my devotions this morning, I couldn't help but notice another beautiful day that was unfolding; the bright sunshine, the bright blue (low humidity) sky.  I know that "officially", according to the calendar it is not summer yet, but for all practical purposes, it is, at least here in North Carolina.  Over the past week I have been able to enjoy beautifil weather at the beach, on the golf course and driving in the country.

Recently we've had events in the heavens, a total solar eclipse in some regions of the country, sun spots affecting weather and other things on earth.  All of these things point to the majesty of God's creation as the Creator and sustainer of the heavens and the earth and everything in them.  The seasons show us that God is faithful in all seasons on earth and in all seasons in life.

God created us to delight in the world that He created and to praise Him for it.  We should notice His great gifts more often.  The. hymn "Great is Thy Faithfulness" comes to mind. But instead of quoting that one, I'll go to a more recent one.

I love You, Lord
Oh, Your mercy never failed me
All my days, I've been held in Your hands
From the moment that I wake up
Until I lay my head
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

[Chorus]
And all my life You have been faithful
And all my life You have been so, so good
With every breath that I am able
Oh, I will sing of the goodness of God

[Verse 2]
I love Your voice
You have led me through the fire
And in darkest night You are close like no other
I've known You as a Father
I've known You as a Friend
And I have lived in the goodness of God, yeah

Blessings,

Mike

Ephesians 1:7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God's grace.  NIV

Psalm 19

New King James Version

The Perfect Revelation of the Lord

To the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David.

19 The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament[a] shows [b]His handiwork.
2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.
4 Their [c]line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

In them He has set a 
tabernacle for the sun,
5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber,
And rejoices like a strong man to run its race.
6 Its rising is from one end of heaven,
And its circuit to the other end;
And there is nothing hidden from its heat.
