Ordinances Of Heaven: Psalm 19:1-7

"This is what the LORD says: 'If I have not made my covenant with day and night and ESTABLISHED 'The Laws of Heaven and Earth', then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant and will not choose one of his sons to rule."

Jeremiah 33:25-26

Have you ever heard of Sir Isaac Newton, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Edison, and all those other great scientific people that has this law and/or laws for this and that? Well, let's talk about someone who is even more Amazing and Awesome than all of them, even combined. About how his laws have been from the beginning and how they will never change nor cease to exist.

Mark your calendar now if you want to see the next celestial convergence of Venus, Jupiter, and the moon. On November 18, 2052, you'll be able to peer through the evening darkness as those solar system neighbors "gather" in a tiny area of the sky. That remarkable juxtaposition of reflective spheres last sparkled the night sky on December 1, 2008.

Astronomic predictability, such as this and the return of Halley's Comet (July 28,2061), prove the orderliness of the universe. If no fixed set of laws governed the movement of celestial bodies, such predictions could not be made.

Can we see God's hand in these cosmic certainties? Look at Jeremiah 33:25-26. God has in view the covenantal relationship between himself and HIs people, and He uses a scientific fact in the analogy. God suggests that His fixed universal laws, "the ordinances of heaven and earth," have the same certainty as His promises to His covenant people.

So mark your calendars, and be amazed by God's unchanging control and the established Laws of Heaven and Earth that never change nor cease to exist!
