The heavens are declaring the glory of God; and of the work of his hands the expanse is telling.—Ps. 19:1.
As a youth, David was often outside, shepherding the flocks. The sheep lowered their heads to graze, but he raised his eyes to the heavens. In the evening darkness, David reflected on the grandeur of the universe and what it all meant. Although young, David had already discerned that he was “wonderfully made.” (Ps. 139:14) Acting on this insight brought him great benefits throughout his life. If we, young and old, praise and serve our Grand Creator, our present and future life will be delightful. Regarding those who stay close to Jehovah and live by his righteous ways, the Bible promises: “They will still keep on thriving during gray-headedness, fat and fresh they will continue to be, to tell that Jehovah is upright.” (Ps. 92:14, 15) And we will have the hope of enjoying our Maker’s wonderful works forever. w07 6/15 1:18, 19
