“How clearly the sky reveals God's glory! How plainly it shows what he has done! Each day announces it to the following day; each night repeats it to the next. No speech or words are used, no sound is heard; yet their message goes out to all the world and is heard to the ends of the earth.” (GNT, Ps 19:1-4)
Contemplate that Spirit, God, fills the universe, night and day, perpetually broadcasting Its message – the prevailing message of Life, Truth and Love – of It’s unique characteristics which are infinitely available for us to express.
