Awe

SCRIPTURE

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 display knowledge.
There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth
their words to the end of the world.

Psalm 19:1-4

OBSERVATION

Scientists estimate that there are 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 stars. Think about that! Here, we read that the skies proclaim the work of God's hands. Isn't that amazing. God's creation constantly reminds us of his glory, might, beauty, power and presence. We are surrounded by it always. All we have to do is look up and see the sun or moon or stars and we are reminded (or at least should be) of God's magnificence.

APPLICATION

I frequently forget how incredible God's creation actually is. It's so easy to take for granted the amazing facts of the world we live in. I take for granted the world around me, when in actuality, it is a constant demonstration of God's might, beauty and ultimately, his love. I need to view the world around me with new eyes.

PRAYER

Father, help me to see the world I live in with new eyes. Help me to be in awe of you. Have mercy on me. Stir my soul.
