The heavens proclaim the glory of God

Psalms 19:1-4 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies proclaim 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.
There is so much speaking lately it is hard to know who to listen to. Everyone seems to have an opinion, a thought, an emotion....it can be confusing and chaotic. Who is telling the truth?  Why is everyone so angry?  How do I feel about all this?  There just doesn't seem to be any clear and concise answers anymore. No absolute truths.
I am so thankful for God's word. When life seems to be spinning out of control I can read it and be reminded that God is still in control. I can walk outside and look into the constant sky that is predictably perfect and praise Him for His magnificent work. His majestic artwork when the sun rises or sets. The awe inspiring colors before a storm rolls in. And God has done it for all to see. He hadn't hidden it for only a few chosen ones but for everyone who has the courage to gaze into it and wonder.
I have found His love is like that too. Available. For anyone who has the courage to look for it. We don't need to rely on others for opinions or thought. We can look to the one who maintains our perfect space in the universe. He's already got it under control. He wants to take our fears and anger and teach us to love one another. Truly love one another. Not just in word but in action and deed.
Instead of watching the news today or reading someone else's opinion on social media get ahold of the Bible. Have a moment of peace and ask the one who made it all your questions. Let him lead you to true love and peace. That's how we will change the world.

Blessings
