Job 37:14 “Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God.”

Elihu talks of God’s creation and how we can only “consider” it; not control it.  Stop for a moment every once in a while, and just consider it.  How amazing is the universe we live in?  Look at the way the planets move through space.  Look at how it sustains us.  See how it gives us insight into our creator.  The design of the universe and the laws of physics that govern it. The chemistry and biology that makes our bodies function.  It’s all incredible.

Even though we’ve learned to predict how the universe will behave, there’s a part we sometimes miss in all the pride of our knowledge.  Sometimes the universe is wiser than we are.  The universe knows who God is.  The universe knows what to do with that knowledge.  So, it does it.

Psalm 19:1-4 “The heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.  Day to day pours out speech, and night to night reveals knowledge.  There is no speech, nor are there words, whose voice is not heard.  Their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.”

The very creation we inhabit screams the glory of its creator, the almighty Yahweh!  How can we, the part of creation that is made in his likeness, not?

Just as much as it proclaims his glory, it also listens.  “Peace, be still.”  How can we, the part of creation that is made in his likeness, not?

Praise the Lord!  Hear the Lord!
