  • The Heavens declare it... the skies proclaim it... what is it?

    “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” – Psalm 19:1

    The Psalms are songs of worship. They call us to praise God for who he is and what he has done. They remind us of our great dependence on him. And they lead us into his presence. Psalm 19 begins with these famous words, “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands” (Psalm 19:1).

    “That’s why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife. The two of them become one.”

And in the midst of all that, we also read about the very first marriage. It’s a marriage that serves as a pattern for every other God ordained marriage. 

  • Matthew 6:33: Part Two
