Welcome to the Days of Praise podcast. A daily devotional by the Institute for Creation Research. The Sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber and rejoices as a strong man to run a race. His going forth is from the end of the heaven and his circuit under the ends of it, and there is nothing hid from the heat thereof, Psalm 19, 5-6. This well-loved Psalm provides us a glimpse of God's creative majesty. The heavens declare the glory of God, and the firmament shows his handiwork, day unto day utter speech, and night unto night shows knowledge. Modern science has shown that the universe in which we live is really a tri-universe, a continuum of space, time, energy, or information. Thus, the first two verses of this Psalm by focusing our attention on the heavens, the firmament, that space, day and night, time, and speech, knowledge, information and energy reveal a scientific truth long before its scientific discovery. There is, of course, one created source of energy that typifies this energy. Speaking of space and time, the Psalmist claims, "In them has he set a tabernacle for the sun," which is further described in our text verses. The sun is like a bridegroom, fully dressed in wedding garb, radiating joy as he comes forth. It is also like a champion runner, fully able to run the race and gain the victory. The sun's energy, radiating out in all directions, not only energizes the earth, but the entire solar system as well. Furthermore, it is now known that the sun traverses the galaxy in a gigantic orbit with its energy bathing each part. Truly, there is nothing hid from the heat thereof. Only the creator of space, time, and energy, the creator of the sun, the solar system, the Milky Way galaxy, and the universe, could have known these things. That creator, through the empowering ministry of the Holy Spirit, is the author of this Psalm.
