Psalm 19 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.

If you think about it, God is almost shouting at us every day through His creation! Think about the appearance of Mars or the surface of the moon (which God also made) and then think about Earth. We have a blue sky to look up to and not the blackness of space. We have lush and infinitely varied plants and trees that adorn the land. Innumerable species of creatures ranging from the microscopic to the magnificent crawl, wiggle, trot, climb and roam about. Vast oceans provide moisture for a temperate atmosphere to support our lives and separate land from land to provide ages of exploration and formation of civilization. In man He has fashioned a creature in His own image...who feels deeply, thinks creatively and can choose to act with or without wisdom. And because He has made all this we ought to pay attention to His words (also from Psalm 19):
-
7 The law of the Lord is perfect,
reviving the soul;
the testimony of the Lord is sure,
making wise the simple;
8 the precepts of the Lord are right,
rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the Lord is pure,
enlightening the eyes;

enlightening the eyes;

His Creation is the context for His words and.....
Psalm 19: 10 More to be desired are they than gold,
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.
even much fine gold;
sweeter also than honey
and drippings of the honeycomb.
11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned;
in keeping them there is great reward.

As precious and amazing as Creation is...God's word is even more desirable!
