April 18, 2021 -- Psalm 19:1-2 -- Seasoned Christians--remember the heavens declare the glory of God!

The heavens declare the glory of God,

and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours out speech,

and night reveals knowledge.

Psalm 19:1-2 English Standard Version

Yesterday, the 17th of April, I threw open the bedroom curtains to see it had snowed in the night! On social media there were all kinds of statements like: “the weather sucks”! While that was my sentiment for a couple of minutes…until coffee entered my system, and I was more fully awake and then read this as my devotional Psalm. My conscience was pricked. No, the weather is not miserable! Even the snow is declaring the glory of God.

The weather shows us how small we really are.

The weather reminds us God is in charge.

The night displays a magnificence of stars and planets beyond imagination and description all of which are for the pleasure of the LORD of the Universe Who rules them.

As long as there is day and night, and season following season, the LORD keeps His covenant love to His people (Jeremiah 33:20).

The seasons, day and night, all which proclaim His covenant love graphically remind us of His covenant love best displayed in Jesus Christ—Who is the salvation of God—the fulfilment of covenant promises of the Old Testament.

As long as there is day and night, sunshine and clouds, rain and snow, this promise is sure, Jesus will return and bring the dearly loved sons and daughters of God to their eternal home!

Father in heaven, forgive me for my bad attitude when I am confronted with Your glory displayed in the seasons and skies, in the night and newness of the seasons. Spirit of God, give me great joy in the knowledge that even the weather and the seasons confirm the covenant promises which are yes and amen in Jesus Christ. Amen.
