Scripture: Psalm (NIV) 97:1 The LORD reigns, let the earth be glad; let the distant shores rejoice… 6 The heavens proclaim his righteousness, and all peoples see his glory.

Observation: The vastness of the heavens is beyond our comprehension, yet the order of the Creator can be readily seen. Although we now understand that the universe is constantly in motion, yet the stars remain in their position relative to the earth. For generations sailors have used the reliable order of the stars to navigate the oceans. God set the stars in solar systems and galaxies in which gravitational forces hold them in proper relationship to each other. Although they may not acknowledge it or recognize it, everyone who looks at the heavens sees God’s glory.

Application: In God’s creation of man, His orderliness is seen in that he places us in families. In accordance with His character, that which was made in His image is to live up His standards of righteousness. God’s order in my life should be an expression of His righteousness so that others can see how wonderful He is.

Prayer: Heavenly Father, help me keep my life orderly and let my life be an expression of your righteousness. I want that others see you living in me. Amen
