The heavens declare His glory!

My son and I made a trip down to Bandon, Oregon last week.  One of the things I wanted him to see was Face Rock.  As we were there looking at the Oregon coast and this particular rock, which looks like it's a face, I noticed the way the "face" was looking, both upward to the heavens and to the North.

Psalm 19:1-4 says,

11 The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
3They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
4Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.


I noticed how the "face" seems to almost be staring eternally up at the heavens.  I thought about this and how it seems to be just another way God uses His creation to point out to man that He is quite real.  As the Psalmist wrote, God uses the heavens to speak to us about Him as creator and the rock almost serves as an invitation for all those who see it to see what it's looking at.  Theologians call this kind of revelation from God "General Revelation or Natural Revelation".   It's a way God reveals Himself to his created so that we may know Him and those that refuse to are "Without Excuse" (Read Romans 1 for what God has to say about this!
I encourage you, dear reader, as you're out and about in God's creation this week that you take some time and reflect on the Creator and what He means to you!
