Psalm 19

The sun, moon and stars, and even the very air we breathe, all reveal what God is like
and what He has done. Every daily cycle communicates and reveals more about who God really
is and how He acts. This communication is not ‘verbal’ – spoken words. But everywhere in the entire world are found illustrations and communications revealing more about the Creator God.
In the natural world one illustration God uses to reveal more about Himself is the sun. The sun comes up in glory similar to a bridegroom presenting himself, or as a powerful person following
a well traveled road. Similar to the sun, the Creator God of the Universe is everywhere - just as
the sun shines everywhere. And just as the light of the sun’s rays shine everywhere so nothing is
hid from God’s all encompassing presence. The power flowing from the Lord is complete and
draws living creatures to Himself. The daily repeating witness of the Lord (similar to the sun
coming up every day) builds up and supports those whose minds open to Him. God caring for
His family is right and convenient and gives JOY to His created beings. Loving God’s
directions enables us to understand Him even more. The more we reverence God the more we
learn about Him and become like Him. God’s decisions are trustworthy and not changing. To
know the Creator God is far more valuable than understanding the natural world, such as the sun.
It is more satisfying than even the most special food is to the taste. Receiving God protects a
person with awesome results. Who can figure out what is wrong with one’s own ‘self’? God
alone is able to reveal that to an individual.
Dear God, keep me from being proud, arrogant or insolent. Don’t let any of those
ungodly traits of character find any place in me. I choose to be like You, God, so I don’t have
any of those rebellious attitudes in me. Let everything I say or think be pleasing to you Lord, for You are my Power Source and my Redeemer.
