"The heavens declare the glory of God and the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night your knowledge is displayed. There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out to all the earth, their words to the ends of the world." Psalm 19:1-4a 

It was a holy moment, a moment set apart for me to marvel. I was alone, reflecting on the experiences of the week strolling slowly through the northern woods and then, "Wow!" I entered a clearing that was awash in brilliant moonlight. No flashlight necessary. The mesmerizing glow of moon reflected sunlight covered me and held me in awe and wonder. It was beautiful and I thanked God for the gift.

David spent many days and nights outside. The awesome display of God's immensity in creation was a regular part of his experience and relationship with God. Knowing the Creator of all things is with you makes giants seem like ants. The proclamation of the power of God through his handiwork reminded David to hold his ground even in the face of the most intimidating enemy army.  

In creation, God has given testimony and witness to all people and all nations that he is. Too often we surround ourselves with so much noise and distraction, we miss the thunder of God's invitation in his created world. His eternal power and divine nature are clearly displayed for all who are willing to simply look around. His creation doesn't simply entertain, it instructs and directs, "Seek him who does such great things."
