The Purpose Of Life: The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God, And So Do We

Can you hear the sound the universe makes? Can you hear the sound that you make with it? Just by living you make that sound, perhaps especially when you say nothing at all. Let all mortal flesh keep silence before Him! So be! So do! Speak, and be silent! So create, and take your rest! For everything there is a season. Let the excellence of it be! Do well! Give thanks in everything. The Lord giveth, and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord! Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might! To the glory of His holy name! 

"The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world."

--Psalm 19:1ff.

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


"The heavens are telling the glory of God . . . 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
