Written by Richelle Thompson
Psalm 19:1 (NRSV) The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork.
Have you ever seen a sunrise that steals your breath? Creation yawns into morning, with first amber light rising on the horizon.
Have you ever stretched out on a field, damp grass and cool ground, and watched the clouds dance?
Do you walk the beach barefoot as waves crash into the heavens? Sit on a porch in the spring of blue skies? Kneel to the flowers, knead the dirt, and await the sun’s warmth?
Of all the many gifts of God, perhaps it is the unspeakable beauty and vast expanse of the skies that whisper most of heaven.
Go outside today, look up into the firmament of God’s handiwork, and let your heart fill with joy and your mouth with words of gladness.
Amen.
