Sing praise to God who reigns above, The God of all creation, The God of power, The God of love, The God of our salvation.
Read 1 Kings 8:22-30
In August 2011, NASA released a composite image from the Hubble telescope that left people smiling. The image is of two galaxies beginning to collide. The collision looks like a heavenly explanation point (!). The latest statistics I’ve read says there are about 100 billion observable galaxies in the universe and more galaxies are being discovered.
When I saw the exclamation-point image on CNN, I was reminded of our awesome Creator. The heavens exclaims His glory (Psalm 19:1), but He is even greater than the heavens He has made. After Solomon built a temple for the Lord’s presence to dwell in, he prayed: “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold heaven, and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!” (v 27). He knew that if the heavens couldn’t contain God’s presence, the temple he made surely couldn’t contain Him.
The Lord is so much greater than our finite minds can grasp. Yet He made it possible for us to know Him through His Son Jesus whom He sent to live on this earth, to die for us and to be raised. When we believe in Him, our lives join the heavens in proclaiming His glory!
Prayer:
¥ Pray that each and every person in your congregation would have a passionate desire to be pure in heart, pure in mind and pure in words, actions and thoughts. Pray that this desire for purity would be driven by the Holy Spirit’s workings and promptings.
¥ Pray that God’s Spirit would be leading and guiding each person in your congregation into service, to ministry and to sacrificial giving.
