Have you heard of Common Grace?
Common Grace is God’s goodness poured on all men regardless of their faith or righteousness. While there is much evil in this world, it is still a great and beautiful planet to live on. Nature around us, testifies of God’s continued faithfulness to all. And even the universe testifies of our God’s great artistic creations. Have you seen the latest pictures sent by the James Webb telescope? Some of these pictures may look like a computer-generated picture but its real and each bright point may be a galaxy or cluster of galaxies containing millions if not, billions of stars yet the Scriptures say that the LORD knows each and every one.
We read in Psalm 147 that
He counts the number of the stars; He gives names to all of them.
This second picture is gorgeous; this is what they call stellar nurseries in the Carina Nebula that had never been seen before.
It must have been on one such glorious night in the Judean desert when David was overcome by the immense magnificence of the universe and said in Psalm 19:
The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.
He surely did not see the details of that night sky to the same degree that we can today.
So then, how much more should we say that the heavens are declaring the great and wonderful glory of our God.
For a universe that is charted at 13 billion light years in distance and expanding, we can only imagine what else is out there for us to discover.
