Creation is the Handiwork of God Psalm 19:1-2 · Life For Toledo

• 0:00
  I'm thinking today of Psalms 19, 1 -2. The heavens
• 0:04
  are telling of the glory of God, and their expanse
• 0:06
  is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day
• 0:09
  pours forth speech, and night to night reveals
• 0:12
  knowledge. We get text, email, mail, voicemail,
• 0:15
  and more. We get messages, and we know we can
• 0:17
  delve into them and see what the person who wrote
• 0:19
  them meant for us to see. We interpret them based
• 0:22
  on our mental state at the time that we receive
• 0:24
  them. A woman receives a gift and she thinks
• 0:27
  it means a lot and the person who gave it has
• 0:30
  some deep intentions, but maybe she misreads
• 0:33
  his intentions or her intentions and it isn't
• 0:36
  everything that they think it is. The best chance
• 0:38
  of getting the message intended is to know the
• 0:40
  sender, to know their likely intent, to know
• 0:43
  the material. That's why we can say it's the
• 0:46
  thought that counts and know the thoughts and
• 0:49
  what it counts for. God, His glory, the work
• 0:52
  of His hands, the speech, the knowledge revealed,
• 0:54
  we ought to become students of creation and desiring
• 0:57
  the accompanying revelation as we know the mind
• 1:00
  of God through His Son, Jesus Christ. We can
• 1:02
  listen, look deeply. We would never need to say
• 1:05
  very much, actually, as our testimony is unceasing,
• 1:08
  but putting it into words could help others discover
• 1:11
  it. If we don't speak up and speak up in conjunction
• 1:14
  with what creation is saying about God, others
• 1:16
  may determine that we are actually irrelevant.
• 1:19
  Let us find our place and play our part. Submitted
• 1:22
  to the master craftsman, we testify, and our
• 1:24
  testimony is accurate because we know him, know
• 1:27
  of him, and indeed we know that he is trying
• 1:29
  to say better, what he is trying to say better
• 1:31
  than anyone who does not know him. God bless
• 1:34
  you today. Think ahead. Christmas Eve, just around
• 1:37
  the corner. Would you like to come to the Christmas
• 1:39
  Eve service at New Heights Fellowship Baptist
• 1:41
  Church of East Toledo? It's less than an hour,
• 1:44
  and it'll be a blessing.
