Psalm 19:7-9
Open your Bible to Psalm 19. Green Bay Packer, Hall of Fame football coach Vince Lombardi started the first practice of every new season the same way. He would gather his team around him, hold up an oblong pigskin, and say, ''Gentlemen, this is a football.'' Then he would proceed to go over some of the basic rules and skills of the game that no doubt all those professional football players had learned when they first began playing the game. Coach Lombardi knew that the key to winning was not learning a bunch of trick plays, but consistently executing the fundamentals of the game with excellence.

V1-3: ''The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, and night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.'' Like the Apostle Paul in Romans 1, David says if a person wants to see God and know there is a God, he doesn't have to look very far. All he has to do is look up. The word ...
