Never has so much been said about so little. At least that's my take on the proliferation of information on Internet communities. One popular site asks participants to answer the question, "What are you doing right now?". In response, the entire world potentially learns about the most mundane details of daily existence. Add to this the frenetic pace of text-messaging and incessant cell phone usage and it's easy to observe that lots of information is being communicated in our age. The only real question is regarding the value of that information.
"The heavens are telling of the glory of God; And their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge." (Psalm 19:1-2)
God's creation is constantly communicating profound information about its Creator. Those who have ears to hear above the din of our modern electronic communications can receive life-changing insights. As such, the spiritually attentive can echo the words of the Psalmist:
"The law of the LORD is perfect, restoring the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true; they are righteous altogether. They are more desirable than gold, yes, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the drippings of the honeycomb." (Psalm 19:7-10)
Through being attuned to creation's communication we are drawn to God's divine communication, His written word. There we find how perfect, sure, right, pure, and enlightening the law, testimony, precepts, and commandments of the Lord truly are. Through attention and meditation we realize how very valuable the word of the Lord is.
As those who have been renewed through the word of God, our goal becomes that of communicating in harmony with nature. As such our prayer becomes,
"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Your sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer." (Psalm 19:14)
May our communications today resound with the excellencies of nature's communications.
