The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. (Psalm 19:1 KJV)
All God’s works proclaim, declare, show forth the praise and glory of God. The exceeding and pervading honor, glory and beauty of God pervades everything that God does. Consider the proclamation of every day for instance; “Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.” (Psalm 19:2 KJV) The breaking forth of the Sun (everyday) is the doing of the Lord throughout the Earth and what a glorious story is told as such of God’s doing throughout the earth.
At some time, the Bible says, “the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep…” (Gen. 1:2 KJV) but this was not the doing of the Lord; the earth had become void and a product of the decimation of the wicked but God stepped in and began His wonderful works upon the earth (again). God began to put order and decency; the glorious outcome of this was the glorious earth about which the Bible says; “God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good.” (Gen. 1:31 KJV). The product of all God’s doings is very good.
Everything God does is good and proclaims God’s glory. This is the mark and character of God’s works and doings. God does no evil; the Bible says, “Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity…Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.” (Job 34:10-12 KJV). God does not do evil but good and all His works do testify of Him.
The Bible further testifies; “The Lord is good to all: and his tender mercies are over all his works. All thy works shall praise thee, O Lord; and thy saints shall bless thee. They shall speak of the glory of thy kingdom,and talk of thy power; To make known to the sons of men his mighty acts, and the glorious majesty of his kingdom. Thy kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and thy dominion endureth throughout all generations. The Lord upholdeth all that fall, and raiseth up all those that be bowed down.” (Psalm 145:9-14 KJV). Notice; “All thy works shall praise thee…and thy saints shall bless thee…”. Everything God does; witnesses for God. They testify of God’s marvelous doings and witness for His Glory.
Beloved, you and I, like all God’s works in all the earth are made (also) to show forth His glory in all the earth. As a product of His mercy and goodness, we are made for God’s glory to proclaim His goodness and manifest His greatness. About Jesus Ministry, He testified so loud of God that one asserted, “Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.” (John 3:2 KJV). Let us like Jesus go forth…to show forth the glory and praises of Him who brought us out of darkness into His marvelous light. Praise ye the Lord.
