Jordan - Psalm 19

I love the picture painted by the first 4 verses of this Psalm:

The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork.

Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge.

There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard;

yet their voice goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

Creation gives glory to God in an undercurrent of praise.  You cannot hear it or see it, but it flows like a crisp wind from a mountain peak across the valley below.  In Luke 19, Jesus enters Jerusalem and is greeted with cheers and the Pharisees tell him to make them be quiet.  To which Jesus responds in verse 40, "If these were silent, the stones would shout out."  Nature breaths God and whenever you are quiet and attentive to the earth, your body is filled with the breath of God.
