This is devotional thought number 19 in our devotional series, “The Gospel According to Psalms.”
“The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, Where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, And his circuit unto the ends of it: And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul: The testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the Lord is clean, enduring for ever: The judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether. More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.” (Psalm 19:1–10).
In the beginning, Jesus created the heavens and the earth. In Him do all things consist. He created thrones, principalities, powers, dominions, things visible, invisible things. All creation waits upon Him for our needs, and He is delighted to provide them. He created us to shine as reflective lights in the universe, of God’s glory. Considering all of the wonderful things He has created; the sun, moon, and stars, along with the works of His hands, what are we mere mortals that He should crown us with such honor and glory?
God’s creatorship is a unique feature of His divine nature. Out of nothingness, He unfurled all that is seen and unseen. Visible nature declares His power and presence to all it touches. The sky is everywhere on earth. There is no place that escapes the influence of the sun. All creatures are manifestations of nature. We are all organic, in a way, and continue in our strength while we live, but when our life cycles cease, we return to dust.
Something went terribly wrong when Adam sinned in Eden. Things began to decay. The sun began to burn our skin during certain seasons, and in others, its presence is so far away that freezing temperatures result. Some animals who were once docile herbivores have become predators that tear and feed on flesh for food. Something went wrong when Adam sinned, but Jesus came to make it right again.
In our theme passage, we see much of what I described. An interesting transition occurs in the text as the writer lauds the beauty of God’s creation. He then moves to laud the beauty and desirability of the law of God. All of nature is governed by laws, and if they are violated, negative consequences follow. The problem is not with the law, but rather, the offender. The beauty of the law cannot be seen any clearer that in the Creator, Jesus Christ Himself. Since Adam sinned, and we followed in his footsteps, the beauty of nature has been degraded on its pathway of decay and death. However, the perfect beauty of the law and its Giver (Jesus), we see the hope of salvation. The same One who is powerful enough to create nature, is also powerful enough to re-create human nature and restore divine order in the universe, as we cooperate with Him to live the law’s principles. Aren’t you glad that the Creator is on your side to restore His ideal and beauty in all creation? I am!
This has been the gospel according to Psalms. Live by it!—L. David Harris (
