God Speaks

Psalms 19 tells us God is real. God speaks through His world book and His word book.  We often think God only revealed Himself through His word. In Psalm 19 we see God has two books: His world book and His word book. 

In His world book, we see God through His creation. “The heavens declare” the mind and power of God. When we look up into the heavens, we see the intelligence of God. We see how marvelous and wonderful this world is made. We also see that His creation took great power. Man cannot duplicate what God has done. He is not smart enough and he is not powerful enough. Consistently, this world operates, “day unto day.” Creation “utters speech.”  While that speech is silent, it is also deafening. It shouts, “There is a God!” And, it does not matter what part of the world we may be in, the speech is still the same.

By His world book we can know there is a God. But it is by His word book we come to know who He is and how we can serve and please Him. Notice, it is in His word book we learn the law of the Lord is perfect. We learn His testimony is sure. We learn His statues are right. We learn His commandments are pure. We learn the fear of the Lord is clean and His judgments are true and righteous.

In His word book we see how valuable His word is.  It is more to be desired than gold and it is sweeter than honey. Why? Because it warns and directs. It warns us of danger and directs us to the right path.

The world book will show there is a God. The word book will tell us how we can be with Him.

Action items:

1. Look at God’s world book and listen. But we must want to hear.
2. Look into God’s word book and listen. But we must want to hear.
3. “He that has ears to hear” let him hear both God’s world book and His word book.
