Psalm 19: 1-4 The universal knowledge of God: Are we without excuse?

1 The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of his hands. 2 Day to day pours forth speech, and night to night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech, nor are there words; their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gon out through all the earth, and their utterances to the end of the world.

In these verses, David is describing the work of the Creator's hand. All that is seen is the fruit of his hand. It goes forth to all people to all ends of the earth. The question remains, Is general revelation enough to save a man? David is saying in these verses that if you see and don't believe, you must be without excuse. The Apostle Paul quotes these verses in Romans 10:10 where he says "The message has gone out, all over the world." He too is saying men are without excuse as general revelation is everywhere. However Paul forgets it took special revelation on his road to Damascus where he was confronted by the risen Lord to bring him to faith. Also it took a burning bush for Moses to have understanding. I submit that even though general revelation is everywhere, without God drawing close to us in special revelation, men cannot believe.

Daily Prayer: Father ever since the fall of man in the garden, men's hearts have been like stone and their minds set only on themselves. Draw near to us and especially to those where you have set witnesses to open their minds and soften their hearts. Do this for Christ's sake Amen.
