Psalm 19:1

Psalm 19:1 “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.”

Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

There is glory in the heavens and on the earth. We see it in eclipses and auroras, in rainbows and in shafts of sunlight slicing out through the clouds to brighten part of the surface of the ocean or a lake. We see it in a crescent moon curving toward Venus in a clear night sky. We see it in a field of golden poppies bobbing in the sun.

God gave us a sense of wonder, He gave us an appreciation for beauty, and He gave us laughter. He made us in His image, something He didn’t do when He created the animals.

A lion hunts his prey and doesn’t notice the bloom of flowers at his feet. A dog sniffs the air outside the house and doesn’t stop to marvel at the sky. A young monkey doesn’t laugh because he’s just made up his very first joke.

We’re unique among all creation, made in the image of a God who loves and who takes delight in His people. As His people, let us renew our sense of wonder at all God has created and all He has given us to enjoy during our time here on earth.

As His people, let us join the heavens in declaring His glory.
