Highlight Passage: … Psalm 8:3-4 [NLT] …  

3  When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—the moon and the stars you set in place—    what are mere mortals that you should think about them,  human beings that you should care for them?  

… All we have to do is look into the night sky (see photo) to discern the glory of God in creating all we see for our good and His glory.

Highlight Passage [Context]: … Romans 1:20  [NLT] … 

20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God.   

… Paul teaches that we have no excuses about the existence of God since we can look around us and see His glory in creation.

… Paul shows that God created all things by Christ and for Christ.             


My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Tim Gustafson … AT THIS LINK  wrote of an early 20th century poet, F. T. Marinetti, who helped launch a “futurism” movement which had no place for God or Christ and honored war and death.  Shortly thereafter WW1 was on the world scene and that movement died along with it. 


Mankind has tried in various ways to uphold the idea that there is no God; but as the scriptures above attest, God’s glory is declared and upheld in the glory of creation; and all we have to do, according to King David in the OT and the Apostle Paul in the NT is to look up at night and see God’s glory, … giving us no excuses to deny His power or His existence.  And oh how I pray that all reading here with me see our God’s glory as we - TODAY - are surrounded by His glory in creation.       


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for showing me Your glory, Lord, in Your creation.   

My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to look around us today and see the glory of our Lord’s creation..  … Amen
