Bible Reading: Psalm 8
Key Verse: Verse 3 – “When I consider thy
heavens, the work of thy
fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou
hast ordained;”
Key Words: When I
consider thy heavens
One of the
greatest displays of God’s handiwork is a total eclipse of the sun, turning
noonday into darkness and sending the chickens to roost hours before bedtime.
There was only
one total eclipse of any great duration in this century in the United States;
and that took place on March 7, 1940.
The previous one of comparable duration in the United States was in
1878. The next one is due in the year
2024!
The first
recorded eclipse was on October 22 in 2137 BC.
It was recorded by two Chinese astronomers, Hsi and Ho. The Chinese government blamed Hsi and Ho for
causing a dragon to eat the sun, and they were beheaded.
The pinpoint
accuracy in which the planets rotate is no accident. It is the divine omniscient plan of an
omnipotent God.
We speak
freely of the love of God, the glory of God, the power of God, and the justice
of God. But do we magnify His
omniscience and His omnipotence as well?
We say that
the more one shows love, the more he reveals God through his life; but, is that
not true as well of spiritual knowledge?
The more we know about God, the better we can share Him with others.
I once heard
someone pray, “Lord, I thank you that I’m ignorant, and I pray that you’ll make
me more ignorant.” Not me!!! My prayer is, “Lord, give me wisdom. Give me the wisdom to know more of you each
day that I may share you with others and know more of your mighty handiwork. Then I can surely cry out, “O LORD, our Lord,
how excellent is thy name in all the earth!”
Psalm 8:9
What to do:
✞Praise God for His being,
His omniscience, His omnipresence and
His omnipotence.
✞Praise God that He knows
you and is mindful of you.
✞“Let your light so shine before men that they
may see your good works, and
glorify your Father which is in heaven.”
(Matthew 5:16)
