Psalm 19

Psalm 19

The Heavens declare the glory of God.

The Sky

and all that is in the

Sky

Speak!

Verses 1 - 4

The heavens declare the glory of God;
And the firmament shows His handiwork.

2 Day unto day utters speech,
And night unto night reveals knowledge.

3 There is no speech nor language
Where their voice is not heard.

4 Their line has gone out through all the earth,
And their words to the end of the world.

The sky speaks a universal language that all can hear.

The daytime sky speaks.

The nighttime sky speaks.

Let the heavens declare His righteousness,
For God Himself is Judge.

Selah

Psalm 50:6

A beautiful song about Psalm 19.

When someone takes the time

to look up into the heavens and ponder -

they will find

their Creator.

Just as no one would visit
Mt. Rushmore and think that the sculpture formed naturally...
 people who look at the sky with an open heart
will realize that
someone made the sky and all that is in it. 

That someone is God.

One of the reasons for the sky

is to reveal

that there is

an Awesome and Amazing Creator.

The more a person ponders,

the more revelation they will receive.

The heavens

provide just enough information

for people

to find God.

The Bible gives the full revelation.

Those who never heard of Jesus

People sometimes ask,

"What about the eternal destiny

for those in remote areas

who have never heard of Jesus and do not have a Bible?

How will they find God?

The answer is - the heavens.

Romans chapter 1

puts a lot of weight

on viewing the heavens

when speaking about our eternal fate.

It tells us that

those who are without Biblical knowledge

must find God

by looking at the heavens. 

By looking at the heavens and pondering,

any man or woman 

will come to the conclusion

that there is a God - 

A Great and Wonderful God.

Consider Romans 1:18-20 NLT below and

take note of the words in green

and the last few words written in red.

^" But God shows his anger from heaven
against all sinful, wicked people
who suppress the truth by their wickedness.

They know the truth about God

because he has made it obvious to them.

For ever since the world was created,

people have seen the earth and sky.

Through everything God made,

they can clearly see his invisible qualities - 

his eternal power and divine nature. 

So they have no excuse for not knowing God."

Romans 1:18-20 NLT

People who receive God from viewing the heavens

will not understand

Jesus

but

they can

be viewed by God

as righteous

and heaven-bound

if they follow their Creator as best they can.

NOTE:

Those who have access to the Bible 

will not be excused

from reading it.

To whom much is given,

much is required.

Luke 12:48 b NLT

We are given the Bible

and we are required to read it.

God sees his Bible as a treasure.

And he expects people to see it that way as well.

God expects for us to get Revelation and Motivation from the Bible. 

In verses 10 - 11,

God describes how wonderful his Scriptures are.

If  we  don't  agree,

then  we  need  to  re-think  and  re-new  our  mind!

In speaking about

His Scriptures,

God says in... 

Psalm 19:10-11 NLT

They are more desirable than gold,
    even the finest gold.
They are sweeter than honey,
    even honey dripping from the comb.
¹¹ They are a warning to your servant,
    a great reward for those who obey them.

God will judge a sinful person

who never followed God 

and

who could have read the Bible but didn't,

a lot harsher than

a sinful person who never followed God and

never had access to the Bible. 

See Luke 12:47-48.
