TESTIMONY OF THE VISIBLE HEAVENS

The psalmist wrote: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.

Ps. 19:1-6.

In this poetic way, the psalmist David indicated that the visible heavens​—sun, moon and stars—​declare God’s glory. The great number of heavenly bodies, their orderly, dependable movements and the beneficial purpose that they serve provide grand testimony to a God of wisdom, power and benevolence. A God who has so well arranged the visible universe must be infinitely wise and powerful. When we consider, for example, how dependent on the sun life on earth is, we must conclude that the Maker of the sun deeply cares about living things. In revealing certain admirable qualities of Jehovah God, the visible heavens are indeed declaring his glory.
