| 하늘이 하나님의 영광을 선포하고 궁창이 그의 손으로 하신 일을 나타내는도다 |

| 날은 날에게 말하고 밤은 밤에게 지식을 전하니 |

| 언어도 없고 말씀도 없으며 들리는 소리도 없으나 |

| 그의 소리가 온 땅에 통하고 그의 말씀이 세상 끝까지 이르도다 하나님이 해를 위하여 하늘에 장막을 베푸셨도다 |

| 해는 그의 신방에서 나오는 신랑과 같고 그의 길을 달리기 기뻐하는 장사 같아서 |

| 하늘 이 끝에서 나와서 하늘 저 끝까지 운행함이여 그의 열기에서 피할 자가 없도다 |

| | A HEART OF GRATITUDE | | The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork. - Psalm 19:1 | My boyhood hero was American frontiersman Davy Crockett. In the book David Crockett: His Life and Adventures, Davy encounters a beau-tiful sight that causes him to launch into praise to the Creator. The writer describes it this way: “Just beyond the grove there was another expanse of treeless prairie, so rich, so beautiful, so brilliant with flowers, that even Colonel Crockett, all unaccustomed as he was to the devotional mood, reined in his horse, and gazing entranced upon the landscape, exclaimed, ‘O God, what a world of beauty hast Thou made for man! And yet how poorly does he requite Thee for it! He does not even repay Thee with grati-tude.’” Crockett recognized that the Creator’s handiwork demands a response of thankfulness- a response that is often neglected or ignored.
The psalmist wrote, “The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows His handiwork”(Ps. 19:1). God’s handiwork is a spectacle that, rightly understood, should not only take our breath away but should inspire us to worship and praise our God as it did the psalmist.
Davy Crockett was right-encountering the wonders of God’s creation should inspire, at the least, a heart of grati-tude. Are we grateful? -Bill Crowder | My boyhood hero was American frontiersman Davy Crockett.
