The Heavens Declare His Glory!
“The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. 2- Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3- There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard. 4- Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,” -Psa 19:1-4 (ESV)
Distractions are everywhere these days and the ploy of the Enemy of our souls is to get your eyes off faith, off Almighty God, off the Bible (His holy word to use) and engaged in the stuff of the world. From social networking to media, to the movie industry, to worldly music, to everything but the firm belief of the existence of Almighty God, society today is plagued by distractions, false religions and vain philosophies.
Most peoples faith is non-existent, or inactive, or shoved aside by the pleasures our environment. We spend little time on bolstering our faith in Jesus Christ through the reading of His word, prayer, meditation in Him. But we spend endless time in front of our TVs, computers, tablets, smart phones and let’s not forget all the “wasted” time in Facebook posting/reading activities. Satan’s strategic, cunning, and sneaky methods have proven very effective to a Godless and faithless mankind.
God’s word says that the heavens declare the glory and therefore the sure and firm existence of God. Day after day, His witness in the sky – sun, moon and stars – is clear and evident. In fact, they echo forth speech that I am sure is spiritual in nature and our spirit, if in tune with God and/or sincerely seeking Him, will clearly hear.
“For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of people who suppress the truth in unrighteousness, 19- because that which is known about God is evident within them; for God made it evident to them. 20- For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes, that is, His eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, being understood by what has been made, so that they are without excuse.” -Romans 1:18-20 (NASB)
The Bible is replete with many verses that state that God is to be known by His glory in the things He has created and He is not kidding about the consequences of our rejection of His presence and Glory.
Friends, if you read these verses and allow your faith in Christ to grow, you will experience knowing God through what He has already created and is shouting at us to believe and witness. He is there, He is here, He is everywhere and our spirits are designed to confirm this and allow our faith to increase.
You see, on the other side of this reality are the consequences of not knowing Him. Based on today’s text, no one will have any excuses for not knowing God Almighty – no valid excuses will be allowed or understood. It’s built in to our DNA, if you will, but many suppress this fact in favor of following mainly the pleasures and faithlessness of our world.
When our name is called to pass into eternity (as we all will one day) our faith while in the body (on the earth) will dictate where our soul will end up. Only two places … heaven or hell! You can believe this now or deny it but when you get there, you will know and then it’s too late to change your mind if Almighty God and His Son is real or not.
For today is the day of salvation (2 Cor 6:2). Today, friends, not procrastinating until tomorrow or next week for none of us is given the certainty that we will even be alive by supper time tonight! Today is the day for you to decide who you will follow – Jesus Christ (God’s only begotten Son) or the world and it’s corrupt, evil, wicked and lawless ways. We will be judged according to God’s word; His words of life given through the pages of Scripture.
So, the bottom-line question for all of us is … who will we serve, and whose voice will we strive to hear? The Lord’s, through faith in His voice present in the universe or the emptiness and darkness of a world filled with faithlessness and unbelief?
We all have a choice to make today, and every day for the evils of this present world constantly work to derail our faith and get us away from listening to His creation speak the existence and present of His Holy Being.
But salvation does not mean an easy way ahead. Consider these verses found in Luke Chapter 13. We must strive daily to enter His presence for many will take an easier way (wider door) and not make it into His rest.
“And someone said to Him, “Lord, are there just a few who are being saved?” And He said to them, 24- “Strive to enter through the narrow door; for many, I tell you, will seek to enter and will not be able.” -Luke 13:23-24 (NASB)

“Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat?”
-2 Peter 3:11-12
GIVE ALMIGHTY GOD ALL THE GLORY FOR HE IS KING and HE IS LORD!
