Heaven and Earth Proclaim

Can You?

Can you count the stars?

Can you measure the skies?

Can you see the sun,

And gaze at it for long?

Can you swim to the deepest seas,

Down the dark where life exists?

Creatures that are yet unknown

Remain covered down below.

Can you make the river stop flowing?

Or prevent the trees from growing?

Can you stop the flowers from budding

And keep the wind from blowing?

Can you fly above the heavens

And see everything under the sun?

Can your feet walk through the waters

Can your hand touch the stars?

Can you reach the highest mountain

And live where there is no rain?

Can you live a life without troubles

And endure without pain?

Who can comprehend everything?

All creation is entirely amazing

But lies in the mystery of time and measure

There is more than what to be called a hidden treasure.

No one can carry all the glory

For it belongs to the One who is worthy

More than enough is to behold the Creator

Who is the life giver, who restores, and reigns forever.

No Voice But Speaks

The vastness of space is too much to comprehend. We can be intelligent people, but we are not perfect enough to know everything. The whole universe bear witness of a beautiful creation. There is so much more to marvel than the 'Big Bang' and the other theories that were made. 

Psalm 19:1-4 NLT

¹ The heavens proclaim the glory of God.

The skies display his craftsmanship.

² Day after day they continue to speak;

night after night they make him known.

³ They speak without sound or word;

their voice is never heard.

⁴ Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,

and their words to all the world.

If people do not give praise to God, how about the things that are mute and don't even have life? "The heavens proclaim of the glory of God." Creation itself speaks of a perfect and unique design which nothing and no one could understand, apart from those whom it had been revealed. They speak through its beauty and wonder and declare of a Wise Creator.

Immeasurable

Science has discovered that there are stars that are greater than the Sun, higher in temperature and bigger in size. Imagine yourself being the smallest body among the bodies beyond. The Earth is bigger than the moon; the Sun is bigger than the earth; other stars are bigger than the Sun, and are double, triple or quadruple in size! We are just a tiny thing for them, but we as humans has been made precious to the living God, our Creator. What He created is beyond measure. Numbers are infinite, just as we cannot count all of God's goodness in our lives since the world began. We can only enjoy and endure – and ensure that our Creator has a beautiful plan set before us. We can only look forward to it as we put our hopes in Him. Just as how numerous are the stars in the night sky, so is His love for us that will always shine.
