Speak
"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 his knowledge is proclaimed. They speak without a sound or a word;
there's no speech or language where their voice is not heard." Psalm
19:1-3
Talking is a big deal in my family. When
the 5 kids were young and all at home ... Yikes! The waterfall of words at
the dinner table fell unimpeded. Typically, there were at least two talking at
all times and there seemed to be this unwritten rule that any story had to be
repeated four times. I never did figure that one out, but I did figure out that
if I listened closely enough, I would gain great insight into the world of
whoever was speaking.
The Psalmist picked up on this same
phenomenon when he looked up. Day or night, it didn't matter. Powerful
words were being spoken. The subject of the conversation was and is
always the same -- God. When listened to carefully the conversation of
creation reveals great insights into who he is and what he is like. And, since
he is infinite, the conversation will never run out of fresh content. The
creation calls out boldly drawing the attention of every people group on
planet earth.
What do you hear when
you listen to all that God has made? Perhaps another question should be asked
first, "Are you taking time to listen to God's creation?"
Any time of day is fine. Just take time to listen. Some serious truths are
being revealed even at this very moment that have tremendous implications for
our lives. What do you say we take a minute and listen in?
