People see God in the bigness of nature

People see God in the smallness of nature

or in a baby’s laugh

People see God in the mysteries of the world. A Bumble Bee’s wings are too small and its body is too big for it to fly.

A Psalmist wrote “Heavens declare the glory of God”

The ‘Eye of God’ Nebular

The ‘Whirlpool’ Nebular

‘X Structure’ at the Centre of the Whirlpool Nebular

The heavens keep telling

the wonders of God,

and the skies declare

what God has done.

Each day informs

the following day;

each night announces

to the next.

They don’t speak a word,

and there is never

the sound of a voice.

Yet their message reaches

all the earth,

and travels

around the world.

In the heavens a tent

is set up for the sun.

It rises like a bridegroom

and gets ready like a hero

eager to run a race.

It travels all the way

across the sky.

Nothing hides from its heat.

Psalm 19:1-6

All we see in the sky displays

God’s amazing work,

and the vastness of everything declare

what God has done.

Every day and every night

God’s handy work is seen.

All the parts of creation plan with each other

to talk about God

but they do.

The skies display God’s glory,

and we see it all over earth

Before the sun starts the day

It gets ready to rise and

tell the world about God

The sun’s heat is like

God’s glory

you can feel it everywhere
