“Ever the poet, David used a lovely term. Meditation here refers to the sound of cooing doves or growling lions. And so we might say, “God, I want my melodies and my mutterings to glorify You.”
Just as the stars in the night sky proclaim the glory of the Almighty God, so my life can shine as a beautiful example of His grace, His power, His goodness, His faithfulness, His splendor, His majesty.
The sun and moon and stars are impressive. Mankind spends billions of dollars trying to get to the moon. Now, we’re talking about whether we can get to Mars. But consider this: The sun is not eternal. None of this universe is…except you and me. We will endure long after our sun is destroyed because Christ has redeemed us. And He has left us here on earth to be light. To be scattered stars illuminating His glory.
Astronomers look at different stars and say, “That’s a neutron star,” or, “That’s a dying star,” or, “That’s a dwarf star,” or, “A giant star.” What sort of Christian are we? Do we shine with grace and truth and love? Or have the melodies and mutterings of our lives started to change from His glory to our groanings? May we exalt the Lord as His amazing universe continues to do, age after age.”
