How Does Nature Show Us God? (Psalm 19:1-6) | Daily Devotional & Bible Study

Today we look at the beginning of Psalm 19, where David talks about how God is revealed in nature. We also think about how David may have been speaking to people in the ancient world who did not know God the same way, and what that means for us.

"The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands." (Psalm 19:1)

Questions this episode answers

What does Psalm 19 say about creation?

Psalm 19 says the heavens tell of God's glory and the sky shows the work of His hands. Creation speaks every day without words, pointing people to its Maker.

What is general revelation?

General revelation is the way God shows Himself to all people through creation and conscience. Scripture and Jesus give us special revelation that tells us how to know Him personally.

How can I notice God in nature?

Slow down and pay attention to the sky, the sea, or a simple tree outside your window. Let what you see lead you to thank God as the Creator.
