THERE'S GOD IN THEM THERE HILLS
There's God In Them There Hills
James Merritt
Psalms 19
Introduction
1. On September 27, 1998, Philip Ozersky went to a baseball game and saw his life changed forever. With one swing of a bat, and in two twinkling of the eye, he caught not just a baseball, but a gold mine.
2. Now a lot of fans have caught home runs, but this was no ordinary home run. A lot of batters have hit home runs, but this was no ordinary batter. On that day, mark McGuire came to the plate and hit his record-breaking seventieth home run.
3. The ball was launched over Ozersky's head, hit a wall and bounced into his lap. Before you could say: ''I am rich, this twenty-six-year-old research scientist became an instant millionaire. For on January 13, 1999, an anonymous bidder paid a record $2.7 million for this ball, almost twenty-two times the previous record.
4. Now just imagine that you have discovered a cassette tape recording or a cd with god's actual voice. Assume that it could be authenticated that it was indeed the voice of god, not only proving he exists, but also proving he has spoken. Now if a baseball is worth almost $3 million, what would that tape be worth?
5. Well, there is no tape or cd, but actually god has spoken louder than that. Psalm 19, which c. S. Lewis once called: the greatest poem in the psalms, and one of the greatest lyrics in the world,''1 tells us that god has spoken where all can hear and shone himself where all can see.
6. This psalm deals with god's revelation. The word revelation comes from the Latin prefix re which means ''to take away,'' and the word velum which means ''veil''-so a ''revelation'' involves a veil taken away so the person can see what lies behind it. God has revealed himself in at least four ways so that we can know that he is, and know who he is.
I. In the skies god has revealed his greatness
