Psalms 19

A self-claimed Christian acquaintance asked, "How can you be sure you have Christ Jesus in you? Does He speak to you and tell you so?" I guess I experienced a similar amazement and sadness when Uncle Moses asked the congregation who could be sure to enter heaven, and there were just a few hands raised out of hundreds.

When one truly lays down his life and commits to the Lord, the Holy Spirit will deposit such an assurance in his life that he is truly saved, forgiven, and freed. Does God speak? Oh ya! May not be the answer we want to hear but the whole universe never cease to proclaim His work and He never cease to show us His love through the mighty milky way and the fragile flower by the road side.

I instantly thought of the beautiful Psalms 19...

1 The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard. [a]
4 Their voice [b] goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

1 諸 天 述 說 神 的 榮 耀 ; 穹 蒼 傳 揚 他 的 手 段 。
2 這 日 到 那 日 發 出 言 語 ; 這 夜 到 那 夜 傳 出 知 識 。
3 無 言 無 語 , 也 無 聲 音 可 聽 。
4 他 的 量 帶 通 遍 天 下 , 他 的 言 語 傳 到 地 極 。

He speaks, even right at this second.
His voice still resonances throughout the universe.
