The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
-- Psalm 19:1-2, 4
Is God silent or is He talking? What is His language? Psalms 19 seems to answer this question.
His language of love is Nature. He has spoken and continues to speak...day after day after day. The glory of His Nature 'pours out speech'. Undeniably. Irretrievably. Unquenchingly. Overwhelmingly. If we listen, we are star-struck by it, stream-struck by it, mountain-struck by it, season-struck by it. Its order, chaos, and timelessness all pronounce the transcendence of his love throughout our experience of tHIS life, in this world.
...and so many still seem able to hardly notice.
Blake and I were talking about his recently; what do you think? What is God 'saying'?
