"The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.
In them hath He set a tabernacle for the Son ... which is as a bridegroom coming out of His chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven, and His circuit unto the ends of it: and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof." (Psalm 119:1-6)
Consider how the sun rises and sets within a 24 hour period, how the seasons come and go, and how the rain falls from the heavens - all in perfect harmony. So much so, that there is no excuse for not seeking the Lord our God with all our heart, soul, mind and strength ... because even from the miracle of nature, we have to admit that there had to be a beginning -- a Creator who orchestrated the wondrous beauty that surrounds us.
Herein, the psalmist is encouraging us to listen -- to witness how the heavens declare the awesomeness and glory of God. To hear with our heart that even when there is no audible voice heard (no speech or language) the Lord God Almighty is still speaking to His people. And indeed, His words to the end of the world.
Moreover, in them, He has set a tabernacle for the Son -- a prophecy that points forward to the point wherein the fullness of the Godhead would dwell bodily in Christ Jesus. A time wherein the bridegroom comes out of His chamber. The time wherein God Himself would come forth as a mighty man -- rejoicing as a strong man running a race.
"Have ye not known? Have ye not heard? Hath it not been told you from the beginning? Have ye not understood from the foundation of the earth?" (Isaiah 40:21)
Worthy scriptures to meditate upon this day.
