When I consider your heavens, the work of
your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man
that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm
8:3-4
The heavens declare the glory of God: the
skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night
after night they display knowledge. Psalm 19:1-2
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for
the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a
champion rejoicing to run his course. It rises at one end of the heavens and
makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat. Psalm
19:5-6
What would happen if the earth did not turn on its axis? We count on it. The sun shining on us is what we
expect every day. We know that no man could set up the days and nights to be
continuous year after year like God did in the beginning.
John D. Morris writes this about the sun in “Days of
Praise” devotion book. “The sun’s energy, radiating out in all directions, not
only energizes the earth but the entire solar system as well. Furthermore, it
is now known that the sun traverses the galaxy in a gigantic orbit with its
energy bathing each part. Truly, ‘there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.’”
Modern science acknowledges what the sun does every day but has no control over it.
Prayer: Dear Father in heaven, thank you for
lighting each day for us, for providing energy to grow our crops and gardens,
and for being consistent year after year. In Jesus name Amen.
