Psalm 64:9-10 (NLT), John 3:16 (NLT), Hebrews 11:3 (NLT), Hebrews 11:6 (NLT)

How can anyone not acknowledge a creator God?

Romans talks about natural & divine revelation and concludes that in reality no excuse for ignoring God is really a valid one!

Todays reading in Psalm 64:9 in the NLT says “and tell of the amazing things He has done!” refering to those who don’t yet acknowledge the Lord! There’s something supernatural or extraordinary happening when people acknowledge the amazing things God is and has done that happens! Something breaks! Unbelief falls away! A desire to learn and discover more of God in our lives!

This is the difference between natural revelation and divine revelation. Natural revelation comes first but the beholder has to first acknowledge God, as Hebrews 11:3,6 to acknowledge where this world came from and without faith it is impossible to please God…

After natural revelation allows God to show in His time divine or supernatural revelation into our hearts. Perhaps today the Lord desires you to open your heart to him – look up see the natural revelation around you shouting about the amazing things of God! Now turn and ask him for his revelation of how much he loves you! Its why Jesus came – For God so loved the world he sent his one and only sin that whoever believes (and trusts) in him will have eternal life! What a promise!

Open my eyes today to see the amazing things you have done in the natural that I may see also the super extra-ordinary things you are doing and have done that I may learn and grow in my relationship with Father God throgh Christ Jesus my Lord. Amen.

Psalm 19: Wow! God has revealed himself in so many ways what is your response?

This psalm of David seems to break naturally in three parts and draws a comparison to natural revelation (that is the revelation of God that is all around us) and then divine revelation, finishing with the only response there surely can be!

Natural Revelation (vv1-6)
The whole heavens sing out the Glory of God giving testimony to a creator God! Paul writes in Romans 1:20, “For since the creation of the world God’s invisible qualities… Eternal power… Divine nature — have been clearly seen” Yet that divine revelation has also been veiled over by “the god of this age” who’s blinded people to discovering truth!
Ask God today to reveal himself today as you admire His creation!

Divine Revelation (vv7-11)
Just like there is natural revelation in creation. There is divine revelation in knowing “the law of the Lord” in other words not a Law that binds but knowing and understanding His ways! How many times do these next few verses bring positive revelation to knowing his ways? V7: refreshing, wise, trustworthy; v8: joy, radiance to life; v9: pure, firm, right; v10: nourishing adequate for full life; v11: great reward.
Ask God by his Holy Spirit this day to give you revelation in your heart of how much he is for you!

Respond (vv12-14)
All this revelation can only lead to one thing! “who can know their own errors… wilful sins; may they not rule over me” (v12-13) We need to know that sins are forgiven that God does not hold our faults against us! Wouldn’t it be great if God provided a way out that meant instead of us receiving eternal condemnation for our faults, sins someone else took the blame for us so we could be free!?! v13b that was the cry from David, if only I was “blameless and innocent of transgression”
Praise God, v14 refers to the future hope found in Jesus! He took the blame for our transgressions so we could go free! To walk in the light free from accusation! What is your heart meditating on today? How will you speak out words of life? May they be pleasing in His sight!

What is your response?

Thank you Lord Jesus for saving me help me this day to live in constant revelation of who you are that my life may reflect you this day! Amen.
