Reading along with us in the first 30 chapters of Psalm? Here’s today’s reading:
Psalm 19 (ESV)
The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,

They are more valuable than all the world has to offer and greater than the things we would associate as the most valuable. I love Psalm 19:14. May it be true of me….and all of us….
