"The heavens declare the glories of God, the skies proclaim the work of His hands..."  Psalm 19:1




Skies shouting.  Clouds clapping.  Winds whirling.  In praise.
Just look.  Stop the counter wiping and laundry folding and bathtub scrubbing to look - and truly see.
Look up.  The heavens saying with all their windy breath - praise.

He is to be praised! 
What an amazing Creator. 
What a truly magnificent, Almighty God!
My Alpha who started with light and water and clouds and formed our domed sky on day two.
An ever changing portrait of beauty that we can gaze upon whenever we look - up.

Perhaps He placed the sky above, so we would stop all of our looking around.
Stop the busyness, stop the comparing, stop the focus on the small to see the big picture.
Step back and see.

Sunrise glory.

Rising mist over blue tipped mountains.
Dancing, color swirling clouds.
Sequined stars.

Night jewels spread across the velvet cloak of darkness.
Fixed points of burning, fiery spheres raising praise.
Blue green gases, comets' hot tailed glow, bursts of light energy - for Him.
ALL created heavens lifting up their Maker.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We say with the heavens, Lord what a wonderful God you are!

 

These small, sheepish words could never express the glory that is You, Lord.

So, as the heavens declare their worship through their marvelous display of beauty, may my life in wordless grace and humility lift up the Most High.  May my small, simple life point to You and the only beautiful part of me, Your Spirit that lives inside.
