There Is Nothing Hid From The Heat Of The Transcendent Moral Order



 
... The heavens are telling the glory of God ... their voice is not heard; yet their voice goes out ...
 
In them he has set a tent for the sun, which comes forth like a bridegroom leaving his chamber, and like a strong man runs its course with joy. Its rising is from the end of the heavens, and its circuit to the end of them; and there is nothing hid from its heat.
 
The law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul;
the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple;
the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart;
the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes;
the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring for ever;
the ordinances of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.
 
More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. ...
 
 -- Psalm 19
