THE HEAVENS DECLARE HIS GLORY

by Lewis E. Thomas
8/24/2015 / Poetry

Earth is a tiny blue planet in a galaxy called "The Milky Way".
Compared to the Universe Earth is smaller than a "needle in a stack of hay".

Yet crossing the "MILKY WAY" would take 150,000 light years to traverse!
But the "MILKY WAY" is "just one little galaxy" in God's great UNIVERSE!

The Hubble Telescope discovered something that is really Grand!
When it was focused on a portion of space no bigger than a grain of sand.

The light from over 3,000 different galaxies was revealed!
Wow!...Just how small should that make us little humans feel?

It would take a mind greater than ole Einstein's to do the math!
God "created every star, planet and galaxy" and set them in their paths!

Though the Earth is like unto a "single cell" compared to the great expanse of space!
Earth is where God chose to unveil His Love and Amazing Grace!

Earth was the chosen location where God created man!
Earth was foremost in God's divine and eternal plan!

Earth is where God decided that a virgin would conceive!
Earth is where The Cross would save lost souls who would believe!

Yes, the heavens declare God's glory but even that glory suffers loss!
When "compared" to the "LAMB OF GOD" who took our place upon the Cross!

Note:
Take a grain of sand and put it on the end of your finger. Now hold your finger out and point it towards the night sky. The area of space that grain of sand covers is the size of the area of space the Hubble Telescope focused in on. Now try and do the math on how many galaxies would be in the entire sky completely around the circle of the earth!
IMPOSSIBLE TO WRAP OUR MINDS AROUND THIS!
The Bible tells us that God calls them all by their names!

Now! HOW AWESOME IS OUR GOD?

See Job chapters 9, 38, 39

Psalm 147:4
4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.

Genesis

Genesis 1:1, 1:16

1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

16 And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars.

Psalm 102:25
25 Of old hast thou laid the foundation of the earth: and the heavens are the work of thy hands.

Job 9:9
He made the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades, and the constellations of the southern Zodiac.

Job 38Living Bible (TLB)

38 Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

2 Why are you using your ignorance to deny my providence? 3 Now get ready to fight, for I am going to demand some answers from you, and you must reply.

4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. 5 Do you know how its dimensions were determined, and who did the surveying? 6-7 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

8-9 Who decreed the boundaries of the seas when they gushed from the depths? Who clothed them with clouds and thick darkness 10 and barred them by limiting their shores, 11 and said, Thus far and no farther shall you come, and here shall your proud waves stop?

12 Have you ever once commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east? 13 Have you ever told the daylight to spread to the ends of the earth, to end the nights wickedness? 14 Have you ever robed the dawn in red, 15 and disturbed the haunts of wicked men, and stopped the arm raised to strike?

16 Have you explored the springs from which the seas come, or walked in the sources of their depths? 17-18 Has the location of the gates of death been revealed to you? Do you realize the extent of the earth? Tell me about it if you know! 19 Where does the light come from, and how do you get there? Or tell me about the darkness. Where does it come from? 20 Can you find its boundaries, or go to its source? 21 But of course you know all this! For you were born before it was all created, and you are so very experienced!

22-23 Have you visited the treasuries of the snow, or seen where hail is made and stored? For I have reserved it for the time when I will need it in war. 24 Where is the path to the distribution point of light? Where is the home of the east wind? 25-27 Who dug the valleys for the torrents of rain? Who laid out the path for the lightning, causing the rain to fall upon the barren deserts, so that the parched and barren ground is satisfied with water and tender grass springs up?

28 Has the rain a father? Where does dew come from? 29 Who is the mother of the ice and frost? 30 For the water changes and turns to ice as hard as rock.

31 Can you hold back the stars? Can you restrain Orion or Pleiades? 32 Can you ensure the proper sequence of the seasons, or guide the constellation of the Bear with her satellites across the heavens? 33 Do you know the laws of the universe and how the heavens influence the earth? 34 Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain? 35 Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct it?

36 Who gives intuition and instinct?[a] 37-38 Who is wise enough to number all the clouds? Who can tilt the water jars of heaven, when everything is dust and clods? 39-40 Can you stalk prey like a lioness, to satisfy the young lions appetites as they lie in their dens or lie in wait in the jungle? 41 Who provides for the ravens when their young cry out to God as they try to struggle up from their nest in hunger?
