Psalm 19

October 19, 2015 Monday Message:

Since the beginning of time, people have tried to explain the creation of planet Earth, our solar system, our galaxy, and our universe. Scientists go as far as facts will take them, and then expand upon those facts in a logical way, to fill in the gaps of what we don’t know for sure, to theorize how creation might actually have taken place. Nowadays, the “Big Bang Theory” has risen to the top.

But even with that, we still don’t know who decided it was time for the Big Bang, just how huge the Big Bang needed to be, what was involved and where it took place. There comes a point where the science we don’t know makes more sense when we credit the missing events to God. “Divine Intervention” is a concept endorsed by David 3,000 years ago.

A morning radio DJ, joking about the weather forecast, would often tell people to just, “Look out your window!” David explains the Creator and His creation in a similar way. “The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display His craftsmanship. They speak not a sound or word. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world.” from Psalms 19:1-4 NLT In other words, just look out your window, and you’ll know that God had His hand on all of this.

David concludes Psalm 19 with words we all know. These are good thoughts to insert into our prayers. Pastors have opened many messages quoting this Psalm of David: “May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord, my rock and my redeemer.” Psalms 19:14
