Psalm 19:1. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork.
And the Lord made this day, looked upon it, saw that it was good, and called it Friday. And all God’s people shouted: “Whoopee! Thank God it’s Friday!’ Yes Friends, I know we’re all excited and enthusiastic because this is the last day of the workweek, and we all have wonderful expectations for the weekend. But before we get too carried away, while we’re still in fine singing form, let’s chant our Friday Chant with a true LOVE and reverence for our God nuh. All together now: ‘Oh Lord, thanks for getting me safely through another week of work! It hasn’t been easy, but with your generous help, I made it through. Now, please help me to get sufficient fun, fellowship, rest and relaxation in these two short days off, so that I can be renewed and refreshed in soul, body and mind, to go back out and do it all over again next week, furthering your glorious kingdom with each step I take. I pray this in Jesus name. Amen.’ Ah mih people, this life is truly something else yes; meaning we can move from one emotional extreme to another in the blink of an eye, and sometimes for no good reason. However, we can’t live life like that; wishy-washy, double minded, unstable and untrustworthy, but need to be firmly grounded and stable. And sometimes when life throws us all sorts of curves we don’t understand and /or can’t handle, it’s often best sit or lie quietly and go right back to where it all began, to contemplate the origins of life. The Good Book says: ‘In the beginning God created the heaven and earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon (hovered over) the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.’ (Gen.1:1-5) Oh Friends, that’s the Creation Story that believers know and cherish. It’s difficult for the human mind to logically comprehend because our brainpower is small and finite, way below the level of God’s infinite capabilities. That’s why there are all sorts of other theories put forth by unbelievers on the subject. But thankfully, for believers, it’s a God-given fact, which we can use to boost our spirits when life seems to be taking a toll on us. Our Bit brings that into perfect focus. Bruh David was in great voice and true godly frame of mind when he penned these enlightening and encouraging words. ‘The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament (expanse of heaven) showeth his handiwork (the work of his hands).’ What an awesome truth my brethren! And no one can doubt it, because all we have to do is sit or lie quietly somewhere and consider the blinding brilliance of the sun in the daytime, the light and heat it generates to keep life on planet earth functioning properly, and how the earth revolves around it in such an orderly fashion. Even when dark clouds hide that bright orb, we know for sure that it’s still there, the Lord just has other plans for those moments. Now tell me, how could all of that be evolved eh? Evolved from what, a big explosion of gas? The science and the machinery behind it are too perfect for it to have just happened. Some brilliant, omnipotent Being must have specifically set it that way! And if the sun doesn’t thrill you in the daytime, then surely the heavens at night must move your soul! How can one not appreciate a beautiful starry night with a big, golden full moon? How do all those stars of different sizes, shapes and light stay suspended in the heavens eh? And how does the moon, every month, move from being a mere quarter of its size to being full and round, then back again? How does it also control the tides of water on earth? Oh Friends, these are all the planned and studied works of a being much bigger and brighter than us. He had to be if He also made us after creating the heavens, the earth and all therein. As that great spokesperson of God, Isaiah, so wisely declared: ‘Have ye not known? have not heard? hath it not been told you from the beginning? have ye not understood from the foundations of the earth? It is he that sitteth upon (above) the circle of the earth, and the inhabitants thereof are as grasshoppers; that stretcheth out the heavens as a curtain, and spreadeth them out as a tent to dwell in.’ (Is.40:21-22) Yes my people, His name is the Lord God Jehovah, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Yahweh, Almighty God! Whatever name you know Him by, He’s the same yesterday, today and forever; the ONE and ONLY TRUE GOD! So when times get a bit rough and we feel like we’re losing our faith, it’s good to just be quiet and contemplate the universe; its wonderful workings, its highly synchronized chemistry, and above all, its awesome Creator. That will bring us back to a true understanding and revitalize our faith. More on this tomorrow, our God willing. Till then, Much LOVE!…to truly appreciate the Great Creator…truly check out His marvellous Creation…
