The Solar Eclipse: Brought to You by the Creator God Almighty

¹ The heavens proclaim the glory of God.                                                     The skies display his craftsmanship.                                                              ² Day after day they continue to speak;                                                             night after night they make him known.                                                  ³ They speak without a sound or word;                                                       their voice is never heard.                                                                             ⁴ Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,                                  and their words to all the world.                                                              Psalm 19: 1 – 4 (New Living Translation)

Today’s solar eclipse captivates millions of us. I don’t know if you got the protective eyewear or will even get a break outside as it occurs, but this celestial phenomenon made big news!

That’s exactly what Psalm 19, as quoted above, states. The sky speaks to us and it clearly speaks of God.  Truly all of nature points to its Creator.  The beauty of mountains, flowers, snow, and the big cats as well as the power of oceans, wind, volcanoes, and earthquakes remind us of the Divine.  These tell of God without words and through a common language.

But the heavens are a unique impression of God. The sky is something that can always be seen and it can always be seen by everyone.  That is not true of the ocean or snow or wild cats.  The firmament also has a way of suggesting eternity.  Where does the dawn come from and how far do the stars go and why is the sky so vast?  We think these thoughts as we gaze heavenward.

So as you join in the eclipse excitement today, consider that God is sending sky watchers His message.
