“The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork…there is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard” (Psalm 19:1,3).
As I write this in June, 2022, I am out here about 40 minutes by car north of the town of Jackson, Wyoming, USA. Wyoming is not heavily populated, and Jackson is not a big city. Because of this, on a clear night out here you can see the stars very clearly—much more clearly than if you are close to a big city. It is very impressive to see the Milky Way shining so brightly, with its many stars spread across the sky.
We might wonder why those stars are there, and why God created them. Here is one good reason in our verse today. Those stars are not fit for humans to live on them, but they display the glory of God. When the natural man sees those stars, even if he does not have a Bible, and does not know anything else about God, he is responsible before God. God has shown His power and glory through the creation of the universe, in order that men may realize His power. Even if a man does not have access to the Word of God, He can know something about God, and recognize His responsibility to Him.
