The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork.
I think we tend to look at the witness of Creation as the first, but the most incomplete form of witness. It tells us that there is a God, but we have no other information about Him. The rest of the Psalm addresses this problem. But I want to consider the example of this witness.
It is constant
Day unto day and night unto night
It is verbal
Uttereth speech
It is educational
Sheweth knowledge
It is missionary
Gone out through all the earth
It is worshipful
Hath set a tabernacle
It is messianic
As a bridegroom
It is eschatological
Coming out of His chamber
It is a warning
Nothing hid from the heat thereof
On a further observational note, I see that
It is not aggressive.
There is a difference between constant and aggressive.
It is not offensive
I know very few who mind a good look at the stars
It is not coercive
Multitudes study the creation and come to wrong conclusions
It is trusting
God is omnipotent.
We need not concern ourselves with the outcome. We need only be the witness God has made us to be.
