Daily Devotion: The Greatest

📜📜TEXT:PSALM 19:1-6📜📜

🔑📖KEY VERSE: “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork” (PSALM 19:1).

Any presentation that proclaims the irrefutable greatness and glory of the Creator of heaven and earth must itself be great! Anything that celebrates the majesty of Jehovah and His “handywork” is itself distinguished.

Since the world has turned into crowds of gainsayers who do not accept the fact of a galactic system put in place by a Designer, believers like David and followers of Jesus Christ cannot but constantly join “the heavens (to) declare the glory of God”.

That is what the “sweet psalmist of Israel” harps on as he reveals that it is impossible to have a great design (the universe comprising heaven, our planet, the sun, moon, stars, outer space, etc.) without a Designer – God.

His works assert the matchless magnitude of the One who brought them into existence. They do not need evolutionists or scientists to tell them the creation story.

They, the works of His hands, constitute enough evidence of the creative force that spoke the planetary system into existence. That knocks out all the contrary claims and renders them unacceptable by heaven. Beyond that, they serve as a perpetual pointer to God’s existence.

If these non-living works of creation would recognise and honour their Creator, He deserves infinitely greater acknowledgment from those He formed in His own image. He needs the believer’s worship in complete holiness.

He wants the sinner to receive the salvation plan He worked out through the death and resurrection of His dear Son, Jesus Christ.

He expects the backslider to return to the narrow path of righteousness. Above all, He wants us to obey His commandments to preach the gospel to the entire world without ceasing.

✍THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: Preaching salvation to the lost amounts to aligning with heaven to declare the glory of God.
