Today, I am reminded of an experience I had over 20 years; when the Holy Spirit laid it on my heart to do a 21-day fast. I didn’t know what the fast was about, but I knew that, if I was obedient, the Holy Spirit would guide and show me what to pray about. (Romans 8:26-7).
On the first day of the fast, I was led to read Psalm 19, and for the next 21 days, I waited on the Lord in fasting, to understand what the Father wanted to teach me.
Psalm 19:1-6 NLT
“[1] The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. [2] Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. [3] They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. [4] Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world. God has made a home in the heavens for the sun. [5] It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding. It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race. [6] The sun rises at one end of the heavens and follows its course to the other end. Nothing can hide from its heat.”
Let me share what the Life Application Study Bible says about this scripture…
“We are surrounded by fantastic displays of God’s craftsmanship—the heavens give dramatic evidence of His existence, His power, His love, and His care. To say that the universe came into being by chance is beyond reason. To argue that mind-boggling beauty and complexity can come out of nothing and was created by no one seems absurd. The design, intricacy, orderliness, and life-giving environment of our world clearly point to a personally involved Creator.”
And then I remember the song we sang at Sunday School, as children, acknowledging the handiworks of God…
All things bright and beautiful,
All creatures great and small,
All things wise and wonderful,
The Lord God made them all.
In fact, I’m amazed by the wonders of the creation, and the ways in which they reveal the glory and awesomeness of our God.
Today, let’s take a moment to look at God’s handiwork around us; in our gardens, at the park, sitting by the lake, walking through the forest; on the mountains top, in nature and in the heavens. Then let’s thank and praise God for such magnificent beauty and the truth that the creation reveals about the Creator.

Fulfilling Our Theme For 2024: “Building The Highway And Lifting The Banner”
“And in that day, there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as a banner to the people; for the Gentiles shall seek Him…. (therefore) Go through, go through the gates! Prepare the way for the people; build up, build up the highway! Take out the stones, lift up a banner for the peoples!” [Isaiah 11:10, Isaiah 62:10]
