My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Remi Oyedele, reflects on the reality of what we see around us singing of God’s glory. The ODB author writes … Using acoustic astronomy, scientists can observe and listen to the sounds and pulses of space. They’ve found that stars don’t orbit in silence in the mysterious night sky, but rather generate music. Like humpback whale sounds, the resonance of stars exists at wavelengths or frequencies that may not be heard by the human ear. Yet, the music of stars and whales and other creatures combine to create a symphony that proclaims the greatness of God.
Did you look into the night sky last night? Perhaps, … if you did … and it was clear, with a telescope or binoculars you saw some stage of a lunar eclipse which revealed what astronomers call a “blood moon.” [see photo]
Or maybe on another clear night, as I often do, you look into the stars and think what the Psalmist sung of in Psalm 19; … and what we should think (see Ps. 148:12) … that we should see God’s glory in creation all around us and proclaim our praises to the God Who created it all.
And in the reference passages we read that Christ was our Creator and we all should be thinking what Gordon Mote sings in the linked song … i.e., … for us to look around everyday and see the glory God has created for Himself and our enjoyment. And I pray we do just that today.
=============
My THANKFULNESS: … Oh Abba Father, … thank You, Lord, … for what sings to us so gloriously from the heavens.
=============
My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, … King Jesus, … I pray, Lord, that all reading here can, and will, join me to take in Your creation today and reflect with thanks and praise what You have created for us. … Amen
