“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.”Psalms 19:1 HCSB
If we stop and think about this verse, we come to realise that the skies tell a tale of the glory of a creator. The perfect symmetry, exact distances, the amazing uniqueness of the Earth, the Sun and Moon the smallness of our solar system in the vastness of space shows intelligent design.
A chance glorious sunset is enough to cause our hearts to wonder and praise. I come from Tamworth, NSW, Australia where we had the best sunsets. My flat faced the west and every day glory would streak the sky. I would find myself running outside to snap pictures and fill my phone wit sunsets all so diverse and yet so similarly full of glory.
I am now in Nepal and such sunsets are rare. Yesterday I was walking at sunset and saw a few rose -pink clouds and was in raptures. How easy I am caught with joy!
As an astronomer, I wonder at the constellations, the Milky Way, the distant planets. I appreciate the technology in the James Webb and Hubble telescopes that enable us to zero in on beauty hidden in the dark night skies.
As a child of God I worship the creator of all this and know my God is real. He is magestic and worthy of praise. Amen!
