Today God says:
"The heavens declare My glory".
He promises me:
"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork". (Ps. 19:1)
My response to the word:
When I take the time to look at the spectacular beauty that is all around me I see the glory of God. The beauty of the heavens and the earth is a true testimony of God's power, grace and glory. As I realize that He created this wonderful environment for me to enjoy, my heart is filled with gratitude for the mountains, the sky, the clouds, the rainbow, the rivers, the seas, the lakes, the flowers, the trees, the wildlife, and all the beauty of this earth. Thank you, Father.
My prayer:
Father, help me to truly see the declaration of your glory in the heavens and the earth. Your creative power is truly awesome, and I will reflect upon your handiwork throughout this day. Thank you, Lord.
Today's scriptures:
"From the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly observed in what He made". (Rom. 1:20 GW) "He created all things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether they are kings or lords, rulers or powers - everything has been created through Him and for Him". (Col. 1:18 GW) "Our Lord and God, you deserve to receive glory, honour, and power because you created everything. Everything came into existence and was created because of your will". (Rev. 4:11 GW)
Quote for today:
All created things are living in the Hand of God. The senses see only the action of the creatures; but faith sees in everything the action of God. (J P de Caussade)
On this day:
"Scriptures are taken from the King James Bible or those marked (GW) are from the God's Word Translation, used with permission".
