The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork – Psalm 19:1 (ESV)
Creation testifies to the majesty of God. Can we go where God is not? Is there a place that we could cry and it not be heard? The law of the Lord is like desirable water: reviving, pure, clean. His words are to be desired more than fine gold, more than sweet honey.
Faced with such a wonderful God, we are drawn into introspection and examination. Truly, our lives cannot match the purity of His precepts, nor can they compete with His creative power. But the Lord is our God; He is our Rock and our Redeemer. The Gospel enables us to participate with creation in their declarations; it transforms us into a people that conform to His words. We need the Rock or else we could not stand; we need the Redeemer or else we would be swept away. We need the Lord to enjoy the Lord.
