Creation speaks without sound or word to declare the majesty of God.

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
    The skies display 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.
Psalm 19:1-4 New Living Translation

My nephew took this picture during his early morning commute to work. The sun was breaking through the night’s darkness and making a stunning appearance, giving light to start another day.

At times the night seems very long as the darkness permeates every corner of the sky. When the sun comes up in the morning, its light synchronizes our body’s internal clock, giving us a clear mind, producing vitamins to keep us healthy and promote happiness and well-being.

God’s own creation proclaims His glory to the world even without a voice. We all have experienced beautiful sunrises, sunsets, starry skies or rainbows and marveled at the beauty God gave us to enjoy.

Even though the darkness of evil still pervades the earth, and we feel there will be no end to how dismal our world can get, Christ will return and gather us in His loving arms and carry us to a new heaven and a new earth, where darkness has been destroyed and evil has no existence.

As children of a glorious God, we always live in His light, the light of truth, love and joy. When the sun greets you in the morning, see how the skies proclaim God’s splendor and praise Him for His amazing glory reflected in the silent message of His creation.
