Day 3

Bridges Family

During these first few days of our community’s 40 days of prayer and fasting, it is our goal to seek God’s face first. Then, once we do that, we will be ready to see what He has in His hand for our city. Prepare your heart, and open your mind to what the Lord might have for us.

Day 3
God Intends the Earth to Declare His Glory

The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. Their line has gone our through all the earth, And their words to all the world.

Psalm 19: 1-4

Prayer Focus: Creation is so vast and powerful that the heavens actually speak to the entire world of God’s glory. The skies are a stage that displays the marvelous things God has crafted by His own hand. The heavens are not an accident by the chance of some cosmic evolution. God was purposeful as He created the canopy of the heavens that covers the earth. As new galaxies are being discovered even today, their increasing vastness and beauty adds to an already overwhelming presentation of God’s glory. The heavens and the earth are not simply inanimate objects floating through endless space; they are actually a wonderfully designed choir that sings out the greatness and majesty of our mighty and loving God. As David wrote about creation in this Psalm, he was led to new self-examination and humility before the greatness of such an almighty and glorious God. As you examine the skies tonight, invite God to do a new work of awe and humility in your life as well.

Bow in worship before the greatness of our god.
Have you ceased hearing the voice of God’s creation declaring His glory? Examine your own heart.
Ask the Lord to forgive you for the ways your hearing has been dulled by the noise of this world.
In prayer, submit yourself to God’s work to restore your ability to see and declare His glory.
Pray that believers in our community will submit themselves to this path of humility and brokenness demonstrated in Psalm 19.
Pray for a renewed desire to see creation through eyes of appreciation and awe.
