#TheDeclaration

After so many abuses over the years, the Second Continental Congress of the then thirteen states met to declare their independence from England. They felt the need to explain why they wanted to be separate and to form a more perfect union. The document they came up with after weeks of debate was a formal, official, unanimously signed document. It held the foundation of the United States of America and is a work of art.

There is another even more official declaration we should take notice of. To help us see the magnitude of the word - declaration -  lets consider the dictionary's meaning.
Declare: 1: to make known formally or explicitly   2: to state emphatically or affirm  3: to acknowledge possession, officially

God spoke through David when he wrote Psalm 19. "The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim His handiwork. Day after day they pour forth speech, night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech; they use no words. Yet their voice goes out to the ends of the earth, their words to the end of the world."

Just think of it. The heavens are proclaiming - see here this is God's possession. They are yelling at the top of their voice formally and officially that God made them. No words are spoken, but one cannot but understand what they are saying. One cannot but see the magnificence of His handiwork and gain knowledge of Him. This declaration goes on 24/7, it is not a one time statement. This is God's universe because He made it.

 "This is my Father's world, I rest me in the thought. Of rocks and trees, of skies and seas His hands these wonders wrought. And tho the wrong seems oft so strong, God is the ruler, yet."
