The universe contains objects of incredible size and mass at distances which the human mind cannot fully grasp. The range of scales in the universe is truly staggering. This alone would be sufficient reason to praise God for His creation, but not only did God make the universe beautiful, He made it unimaginably large. We will see that the universe has incredible beauty. It may even be that the starry universe was specially designed for the purpose of declaring God’s glory to us. Why then does the Bible single out the heavens as declaring His glory? Perhaps the heavens declare God’s glory in a special way or to a greater extent. These are all indicative of the incomprehensible creativity, intelligence, and power of the Creator. Consider the magnificent intricacy of a living cell, the complexity and the amazing diversity of life on earth, and the mathematical precision of the laws of physics and chemistry. Of course, God’s glory can be seen in many different aspects of creation-not just the heavens. This beautiful statement from Psalm 19:1 (NIV) indicates one of the purposes of the created universe: the universe reveals the majesty of its Creator. “ The heavens declare the glory of God the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (NIV).
