“The heavens declare the glory of God"

Bible Reading: Psalm 19:1–6

Key verse:  “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 they reveal
knowledge.”
— Psalm 19:1–2
 
DEVOTION

Psalm 19:1–6 is a powerful testimony to the way creation reflects the majesty of its Creator. Through vivid poetic language, David invites us to consider that the heavens are not mute—they are proclaiming the glory of God with every sunrise, every star, every cloud.
This “speech” is not heard with human ears, yet its message is unmistakable. It transcends language and culture, reaching “to the ends of the world” (v. 4). The sun is pictured as a bridegroom filled with joy and a champion running a race. Its journey across the sky is steady and strong, warming the earth and reminding us of God’s faithful, life-sustaining presence in our lives.
Though this is not a saving revelation, it is a divine invitation—to look up, to wonder, and to worship. As Paul says in Romans 1:20, God’s eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen in what has been made.
Today, pause and consider the message creation is declaring. Let the sky lift your eyes, and let your heart respond with reverence and praise.

PRAYER

Lord God, thank You for the majesty of the heavens and the beauty of the world around me.
May we never overlook the daily witness of Your creation. Open our eyes to see Your hand in
all things and lead us to worship You more deeply. Please come back to earth and redeem our
minds and souls and bring us back to your heavenly kingdom . Amen.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

When we look at the creation ,the earth,  the skies, seas and all his creation we can see the grandeur of God and understand how wonderfully we are made.

  Constant, patient and welcoming love of God   St. Luke 15: 11-32  V.21: And the son said to him, ‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and in your sight, and am no longer worthy to be called your son.’ The parable of the ‘Prodigal son’ is one of the most frequently quoted parables that Jesus told His disciples. The parable contains the rich mine of human virtues and emotions. This parable is lived and re-lived in progressing civilizations from time immemorial and continuing. It brings out in vivid detail the pathetic depth of human sinfulness and the glorious heights of God’s forgiveness.      As a story of human nature, fathers are generally merciful to their children in any circumstance. They are very protective and are eager to provide for and secure the lives of their offspring. Jesus is telling this parable to underscore the superlative love of God to His children. The nature of such love is reiterated by Jesus in Matthew 7:11. Humankind wh...

Revelation for Liberation Acts 27:18-26 Sherine Thomas Long Island MTC, NY 20  When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned. “After winter comes the summer.  After night comes the dawn.  And after every storm, there comes clear open skies” so said a Scottish clergyman from the 1600s. It’s been said, that hope can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon.  However, it’s sometimes the hardest weapon to carry when you’re living with the loss of a loved one, something that almost feels like a terrible nightmare that’ll never go away.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry when day in and day out no one seems to hear or see those tears that are shed or silent cries that are made during a heartfelt prayer. It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you see your loved one lying on that hospital bed.  It’s a weapon difficult to carry as you search and seek out answers to tel...

PRIESTHOOD: THE ANOINTED MINISTRY Exodus 40:12-16 Bring Aaron and his sons to the entrance to the Tent of Meeting... wash them with water. Then dress Aaron in the sacred garments, anoint him and consecrate him so he may serve me as priest (Exodus 40: 12-13). Priesthood among the people of God was a divine command and initiation. God wanted some people to be separated for the special ministry among his people. God appointed Aaron and his descendants to take up this kind of ministry among the people of God. Priests are always separated and appointed as channels that connect God with his people. All throughout the history of Israel, priests played an important role in connecting people with God and to lead and guide them in the statutes of God. But there are incidents in the Bible where the priests failed in their duties and that led the people to go away from God. So the priests have a special and significant ministry to perform in this world among his people. Two important things...
