Psalm 19
1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
The skies display his craftsmanship.
2 Day after day they continue to speak;
night after night they make him known.
3 They speak without a sound or word;
their voice is never heard.
4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
and their words to all the world.
God has made a home in the heavens for the sun.
5 It bursts forth like a radiant bridegroom after his wedding.
It rejoices like a great athlete eager to run the race.
6 The sun rises at one end of the heavens
and follows its course to the other end.
Nothing can hide from its heat.
Reflection
Today we invite you to a visio divina with the heavens and the earth on the A Simple Pause app. (If you have the app already simply click here. Or you can download the app wherever you get your apps – it is our gift to you!) Or, just settle into a comfortable position, breathe deeply and be mindful of God’s presence with you. Keep company with God for the next few minutes as you slowly read the text above. This is our Father’s world, created for God’s good pleasure and our enjoyment. Spend the time looking around wherever you are located, gratefully noticing and admiring the artistry, beauty and creativity of our awesome God! As a practice of prayer, compliment God on whatever catches your attention.
