Lenten Devotional...March 13

“The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims his handiwork. Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night declares knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard; yet their voices goes out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.”  
(Psalm 19:1-4)
 
Twentieth-century American humorist Will Rogers once quipped, “Never miss a chance to shut up!”  We might do well to heed his advice from time to time.  Seems we are often so impressed with what we have to add to the conversation that we spend more time talking and less time listening.
 
The Psalmist reminds us that praise isn’t dependent on words. “Look up,” he seems to be saying. “Take in the wonder of God’s glory.”  Words are superfluous…shhhhhhh!
 
Prayer:   _________________________!!  Amen.
