The Heavens (and Hubble) Declare God’s Glory

Al Mohler has a very interesting and thoughtful post on the images coming from the newly repaired Hubble telescope. The creation declares God’s existence and that he is a powerful and creative God!
“The heavens are telling the glory of God,” sings the Psalmist, “and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” [Psalm 19:1, NASB] Every atom of creation cries out the glory of God. The Hubble Space Telescope now shows the glory of God in the universe in a new dimension — and in breathtaking color and complexity. To see these images is to view the work of the Creator in a glory newly disclosed, newly visible to human eyes.
To read of the vast distances and dimensions seen and measured by Hubble’s technology is to be reminded just how small our planet really is — and how even smaller we humans are. As the Psalmist reflected: “When I consider your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him?” [Psalm 8:3-4, NASB]
The cosmos does reveal the glory of the Creator — indeed it is inevitably so. The heavens — and Hubble — are telling the glory of God. He who has eyes to see, let him see.
