The heavens are telling the glory of God!

The opening of Psalm 19 (which we read yesterday) certainly seems appropriate on a beautiful day like today, doesn't it? Just last week, we were getting blizzard warnings, and now the sky is sunny and clear (and warm, too). Sometimes, you have to look closely to see the beauty of God's creation--and sometimes it is really, really obvious.

Day to day pours forth speech,
   and night to night declares knowledge.
There is no speech, nor are there words;
   their voice is not heard;
yet their voice goes out through all the earth,
   and their words to the end of the world. (Psalm 19:2-4a)

Actually, the part of me that remembers being a physics major in college is thinking, "well, actually, the stars in the heavens kind of do communicate, not with sound but with light". And there's a whole involved metaphor there. It's amazing how much the stars are telling us, for example. What scientists do is listen to what they have to say--which, in a way, is like listening to their proclamation about God their creator, isn't it? (I've never really understood why people sometimes think that faith and science are incompatible.)
