 “…the firmament sheweth his handywork.” Psalms 19:1

Everywhere we look we find the evidences of God’s great work! Creation proclaims loudly and clearly the love, power and glory of the Lord. When our strength fails, we are directed to ‘look up’. There is something in this upwards look that reminds us of the Power and Strength that is greater than ourselves, the One to whom there are no limits. The firmament comprises the ‘observable’ heavens above us, with all the heavenly bodies which populate it and illuminate it. It is a true wonder to behold, and a reflection of the skilled workmanship of God’s hands. The greatest mind is challenged by what can be observed in the expanse above us; the feeblest heart is encouraged and inspired and the unconverted soul is reminded that creation declares God’s eternal power and Godhead, leaving no excuse for unbelief! From ancient times to the present, man has benefited from the protection, direction and provision God has given by the awe inspiring creation with which He has surrounded us. His faithfulness is affirmed by the predictable precision of the sunrise and the phases of the moon. We owe Him praise and gratitude, each day we live, and our earth system functions in all its glory to sustain life. Some have lifted their voices to speak against the veracity of the God of Creation. To them creation itself replies with a faith demanding shout, the irrefutable evidences that this is indeed the workmanship of Yahweh, the Creator, Designer and Sustainer of the universe, the Lord God Almighty!
