The God Who Speaks (4 of 10)

In this psalm, David tells us that the God of heaven speaks to the people of earth in more than one way, and we need to be attuned to all of them. First, God Speaks...
1. GENERALLY THROUGH HIS CREATION.
V 1-6: ''The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.''
The words 'declare' and 'proclaim' convey communication. Theologians call this communication the natural or general revelation of God. God reveals Himself, His power, His presence, His brilliance, His wisdom, His majesty, His splendor, His creativity, through the order, design, and beauty of creatio ...
