Psalm 19:1-3 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (2) Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. (3) There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard."
Have you ever been in a conversation where one side or the other was not fully
engaged? You find yourself talking and suddenly you realize the other person is
not paying one bit of attention to what you are saying? OR, maybe someone is
talking to you and suddenly your mind is wandering in the far distance and you
have not heard what the other one is saying. That can be a lonely conversation
if you are the one who is not heard. Or it can be frustrating if you are the
one who has to ask the other person to repeat themselves. What does this have
to do with today's verses? I'm glad you asked.
God speaks to us on a daily basis concerning His glory, power, wisdom, honor
and authority. His faithfulness is declared to us every moment of every day.
But sometimes we find ourselves distracted and we miss a glorious message. We
have had some gorgeous sunsets in the past few weeks, but it is easy to be
caught up in other thoughts and find that we have missed it. We are so busy
that we fail to hear the birds singing praises unto the Lord. We look past the
beautiful flowers that God has created for our benefit. The glory of God
is declared boldly all around us every single day. The sun is rising. The moon
in the night sky is surrounded by stars that are bright and showing the
knowledge of God. "There is no speech nor language, where their voice is
not heard." This is a true statement, but when was the last time we
stopped to pay attention to what God is speaking to us?
Summer and winter and springtime and harvest,
Sun, moon, and stars in their courses above
Join with all nature in manifold witness
To thy great faithfulness, mercy, and love.
Great is thy faithfulness,
Great is thy faithfulness,
Morning by morning new mercies I see.
All I have needed thy hand hast provided;
Great is thy faithfulness,
Lord unto me.
