Simply MAGNIFICENT! Psalm 145:5 - I will meditate on the glorious splendor of Your majesty, and on Your wondrous works. When I was eight, I started saving to buy a telescope. It took several years, but finally I pulled together enough coins to purchase the optics. With my father’s help, I designed and built a mount and, at last, peered through the telescope to the heavens above. I was stunned. I had never seen anything so beautiful, so awesome. The spectacle was too good not to share. I carried my instrument from the back yard to the front so I could invite my neighbors to join me. But no invitation was necessary. No sooner had I planted my telescope on the sidewalk than an enthusiastic crowd formed, a crowd that stayed late into the night. That evening I began to realize many people, maybe all people, are fascinated with the starry hosts. I once thought that the sheer immensity of the heavens was responsible for that fascination. That’s part of it, but there’s more. There’s the mystery of what’s really out there, what those specks of light may be, the mystery of how they all got there and of what lies above and beyond. Gazing at the night sky seems to raise profound questions not only about the universe but also about ourselves. (Ross, Hugh (2011-12-24). The Creator and the Cosmos: How the Latest Scientific Discoveries Reveal God (Kindle Locations 92-95). Reasons To Believe. Kindle Edition.) Sorry folks, that was just part of the opening of Chapter 1 of the book mentioned above. It is a FASCINATING read! I LOVE and recommend the book highly. Even though the Psalmist David did not possess a telescope, from our feature verse and other chapters in the Book of Psalms, we can safely deduce that what he saw of creation with the naked eye, caused him to stand in complete awe of God, the Creator of it all. 1-2 God’s glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon. Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures each evening. 3-4 Their words aren’t heard, their voices aren’t recorded, But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere. (Psalm 19, The Message) The most beautiful rendition I’ve ever heard of this song, including the most spectacular scenes: youtu.be/By0iyTukDkQ Bonochi! ♥♥♥
