God Is Speaking - Are You Listening (Psalm 19)

Psalm 19 

This beautiful psalm highlights two distinct ways God speaks into our world. One is through the declaration of His glory in creation. The other is through His written Word. Both reveal the greatness of God and draw us humbly to Him.

Honestly, I can’t understand how anyone could gaze upon the countless stars at night or peer into the spacious skies without being blown away in awe. Studying the world’s design, how could anyone conclude this all came into being by random chance? How could anyone not see there is indeed a mighty Maker and Sustainer of all things?

And as if the voice of creation were not enough to draw us in worship to God, He speaks even more clearly through His Word. God wants us to know Him, and His Word tells us more about His love, His mercy, His grace, His power, than the skies would have space to begin to say.

And consider closely the rich blessings God pours out into the hearts of those who receive His teaching. His Word revives the soul, makes the simple wise, rejoices the heart, enlightens the eyes and endures forever. His Word will keep you from sin and teach you how to live to please the One who has redeemed you and calls you by name. There’s great reward in keeping His commands. Live in the Word of God today, and let His Word come alive in you. God has something to say. Are you listening?
