The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, even much fine gold; sweeter also than honey and drippings of the honeycomb. 11 Moreover, by them is your servant warned; in keeping them there is great reward. —Psalm 19:9-11
Psalm 19 begins with our eyes heavenward. Look! God is revealing a glimpse of His glory through what is visible in the universe. When the first pictures of far-away galaxies were transmitted back to earth from the Hubble telescope, words failed us. We tried, but could not capture in words the fearful, breathtaking depths of the beauty our eyes beheld. But even without words these images are saying volumes. God’s creation, the sun, moon, and stars are telling, declaring, pouring forth speech without words, and revealing knowledge without a voice—about Yahweh, His glory and His handiwork! How amazing and terrifying it will be to see Him in all His beauty and glory one day!
