The Glory of God Proclaimed in His Children

Psalm 19:1

The heavens declare the glory of God and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

It is undeniable.  The heavens proclaim the glory of God.  Every facet of God's existence, power, wisdom and goodness are revealed in the starry canopy above us.  Peering into the vast heavens gives us a sense of our infinite Lord, a sense of His control over all things and a sense of the magnitude of His power to hold it all together. 

Our Creator provided the sun, the moon and the stars to provide light in our world.  He provided His Son to be the Light of the World.  Just as the Lord declares His glory through the display of His handiwork in the heavens, He also declares His glory through His Son.  And the glory that He receives through His Son is multiplied over and over again through His children.  He reveals His glorious Holy Spirit to the world through every single child that He has created. 

The Lord uses powerful men of God to deliver His messages, but He does not use them alone.  He chooses to use everyone of His children - of every age and every time - to declare His perfect love and forgiveness.  He certainly does not need any of us to accomplish anything, but He loves to use all of us to reveal Himself to those who are in our everyday lives.  We are the instruments of God's perfect love.

Prayer,

Heavenly Father, we thank You and praise You for the magnificent universe that You have created.  We proclaim Your glory in all that we see before us.  Father, we pray that You will use us as instruments of Your good work.  May the world see the magnificence of who You are through our living testimony.  May we be daily expressions of Your perfect love and forgiveness.  We ask all these things in the name of Your Everlasting Light, Jesus Christ.
