Psalm 19:1-4

Psalms 19:1-4
1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky proclaims the work of His hands.
2 Day after day they pour out speech;
night after night they communicate knowledge.
3 There is no speech; there are no words;
their voice is not heard.
4 Their message has gone out to all the earth,
and their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens He has pitched a tent for the sun.

The heavens declare the glory of God yet they have no voice, how then
do redwood trees declare the glory of God?

Awe. Awe is the feeling of one's 'insignificance'. The Amer Heritage
Dict defines awe as a mixed emotion of reverence, dread, and wonder.
When a 6' human being looks at a 275' tree there ought to be awe;
there ought to be a sense of dread, FEAR: What if that thig fell on
me? What if I fell off that thing?

Soon, these thoughts give way to, Wow God made that! How big mist that
guy be! What if He 'fell' on me? Then you start to think, What would I
do to get on the wrong side of God? This is the beginnig of the fear
of the Lord; this is the beginning of wisdom. It all started by
correctly looking at a tree; looking at a tree and 'hearing' it
declare the glory of God.

Father in Heaven, thank you for declaring You own glory because I
couldn't have heard it w/o Your creation.
Son beside us, thank You for putting that declaration in words I could
understand.
Spirit within us, thank You for aawakening my heart first to hear,
then to sing along for Your glory.

Notice your trees today!

Looking with you,
Pastor Greg
