The Heavens Are Telling, January 20
Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these
things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all
by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in
power; not one faileth.
Isaiah 40:26
.
God’s great book of nature is open for us to study, and from it we
are to gain more exalted ideas of His greatness and unexcelled love and
glory. He ... would have His children appreciate His works, and delight
in the simple, quiet beauty with which He has adorned their earthly
home.
God calls upon His creatures to turn their attention from the con-
fusion and perplexity around them, and admire His handiwork. The
heavenly bodies are worthy of contemplation. God has made them for
the benefit of man, and as we study His works, angels of God will be by
our side to enlighten our minds, and guard them from satanic deception.
Go out, dear young man, at night, and behold the glories of the
firmament. Look up to the gems of light which like precious gold stud
the heavens. There is a wealth of glory there, but millions of minds are
so obtuse they cannot appreciate this treasure. It is a little bit of heaven
hung out before our senses to testify of the surpassing glories within.
We are not merely to gaze upon the heavens; we are to consider the
works of God. He would have us study the works of infinity, and from
this study, learn to love and reverence and obey Him.
Every shining star which God has placed in the heavens obeys His
mandate, and gives its distinctive measure of light to make beautiful the
heavens at night; so let every converted soul show the measure of light
committed to him; and as it shines forth the light will increase and grow
brighter. Give out your light, ... pour forth your beams mirrored from
heaven. O daughter of Zion, “Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the
glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.”
Isaiah 60:1
