People travel to Kanya Kumari and mountain peaks like Kanchenjunga to witness the glorious rising of the sun. Andaman is another place to see the beautiful sunset. David exclaimed, seeing the heavens, and wrote a beautiful song. (Psalms 19:1-6) There are three heavens: the atmosphere, outer space, and the heavens where God dwells. David refers to the blue sky in the day, and the starry heavens at night, that declare the glory of God.
Glory of the sun, moon, and stars: No human is not fascinated with the sunrise or sunset. The moon that floats amid clouds in the night inspired poets of all generations. The galaxies of twinkling stars are beyond comprehension by scientists, the description of poets, and a charming beauty for all human eyes.
Glory in Size: The size of the sun, moon, and stars could be measured using technology, but they are too huge for humans to comprehend.
Glory in engineering: The paths of planets, satellites, stars, and meteors are amazing. How they are in orbit, self-sustaining, and the rhythm of harmony of being together in space.
Glory in Art: All creation is so beautiful and colourful, with meticulous design. It is God’s artwork.
Glory in Goodness: God created all these for a purpose, a beautiful, sustainable, healthy home for humans.
Glory in communication: The sky utters speech and reveals knowledge; the Day and night sky speak to humanity. The Hebrew word means – gushing spring of refreshing waters of revelation. Imagine a night without the moon and stars and only darkness. People would have believed in nothingness. But it gives hope and a glimpse of the creator. If a person is underground or blind, unable to see the sky, is brought up or eyes are opened, seeing the heavens, he will declare glory to God. Even if all preachers in the world grow silent, the heavens will not stop communicating the glories of God to the Fallen Humanity. It could be understood by anyone. Apostle Paul reminds us that God’s eternal attributes are revealed, so there is no excuse. (Romans 1:20)
Do I listen, see, and experience the glory of God?
