From Heavenly Greatness to Inexhaustible Love

Timothy Keller

The number of stars is still uncountable by human science, yet God knows them by name (verse 4; cf. Isaiah 40:26). Job speaks of the creation, when “the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy” (Job 38:7).

Psalm 19 tells us that, unless you repress it, you can still hear the stars singing about their maker.

From Heavenly Greatness to Inexhaustible Love | Devotional

Read Psalm 147:1–11.

1. Praise the Lord. How good it is to sing praises to our God, how pleasant and fitting to praise him!

2. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the exiles of Israel.

3. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.

4. He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.

5. Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding has no limit.

6. The Lord sustains the humble but casts the wicked to the ground.
7. Sing to the Lorrd with grateful praise; make music to our God on the harp.

8. He covers the sky with clouds; he supplies the earth with rain and makes grass grow on the hills.

9. He provides food for the cattle and for the young ravens when they call.

10. His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse, nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;

11. the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.

Psalm 19 tells us that, unless you repress it, you can still hear the stars singing about their maker.

“In Reason’s Ear they all rejoice, and utter forth a glorious voice; For ever singing, as they shine, “The Hand that made us is Divine.”

Yet this unimaginably immense God is given pleasure, real joy and delight, when human beings put their life’s hope in his gracious love (verse 11). Great is our Lord!

Prayer: Lord, it is astonishing that I can bring you delight. And this delight does not waxand wane depending on my performance but is unvarying because I am in Jesus Christ (Ephesians 1:3–4).

Let me start every day from the platform that “the only eyes in the universe that count are delighted in me.” Amen.

In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation

Reflections on the Incarnation and Freedom of God

Philip Yancey
Think of the condescension involved: the incarnation, which sliced history into two parts had more animal than human witnesses. Think, too, of the risk. In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation.
Remember that His presence can be experienced. His promise is as true as ever.

The Blessing of the Presence of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon
He is as certainly with us now as He was with the disciples at the lake when they saw coals of fire, fish on the coals, and bread (John 21:9). Not physically, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us!
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

God’s Awesome Love

Charles Stanley
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. With great awe and in complete reverence, the shepherds looked upon the baby Jesus. It was true.
The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
