"The Heavens Declare the Glory of God. . .

. . .and the sky above proclaims His handiwork."

     I wasn't thinking about Psalm 19:1 when I was lying in bed last night, retreating to the depths of the covers in an attempt to drown out the sound of the loudest thunder I have ever heard. I was thinking more along the lines of what I could think about instead, to take my mind off of the monstrous noises that seemed to penetrate my window. I wondered, "Is Jesus going to come back?" Somehow I wasn't all that ready for Him to come. I was afraid.

     Psalm 19:1, as well as another passage from Psalms that comes to mind. . .

"When I am afraid, I put my trust in you. In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust; what can flesh do to me?" - Psalm 56:3-4

. . .would have been a good thing to think about. Knowing that the thunder was a declaration of God's power, rather than something that seemed to be out of His control, would have enough to put my mind at ease. I pray that next time I am in that kind of situation, I will remember the words of God! The heavens declare the glory of God, they are not outside of his glory. When I am afraid of anything, I can trust God and not be afraid.

I hope this encourages you,
