PSALMS for the Summer - Comments on Psalm 19: 1

By: George Nielsen

1 The heavens declare the Glory of God.  The skies proclaim the work of His hands.            Psalm 19:1

King David declares how the stars, the sun, and the moon all show us that God is powerful and His works are wonder to behold.   David understood that the vastness of space, along with its orderly flow, as positions of the sun, moon, and the stars changed over time (when viewed from his perspective on earth), were a blessing to us from God.  He understood that it would have been impossible for all this to have just “happened” -- as some random event.    More than 3,000 years have passed since David wrote this, but it still is impossible for all of this to be the result of some random “bang” event.

Paul the Apostle also wrote in his Epistles to confirm this very idea.  Nature, can be carefully studied, and when it is, this affirms what the Holy Bible has declared.    “In Romans 1:20, Paul explains that God's eternal power and divine nature can be seen in nature, ‘in the things He has made’ – His poiema.  The Greek word translated as things is poiema, from which we get our word "poem".    Paul tells us that all of creation contains works of incredible art -- created by GOD to demonstrate and reflect His glory.” **

Psalm 19: 1 is an affirmation of one of the foundational parts of our Biblical Christian worldview:   God is the Creator.   He has this awesome power, and He has produced a wonderful and beautiful universe.  There was not any “bang” -- a random explosion of matter.    As Creator, God is to be honored, praised, trusted, and obeyed.
