"The Sun is playing a secret melody, hidden inside itself, that produces a widespread throbbing motion of its surface. The sounds are coursing through the Sun's interior, causing the entire globe, or parts of it, to move in and out, slowly and rhythmically like the regular rise and fall of tides in a bay or of a beating heart." -Kenneth R. Lang
The Sun is 93,000,000 miles from Earth. Now sound won't travel through the vacuum that is created in space. But with the right instrument, scientists can "hear" pulsations from the Sun (solar-center.standford.edu). The sun as well as other stars throughout the universe are producing sound. Our sun vibrates from acoustical waves much like a bell. Let that sink in for a moment. We have a singing sun. With that in mind consider what the Bible says in Psalm 19:1-4 (ESV),
1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
and their words to the end of the world.
in them he has set a tent for the sun,
We have a universe that attests to the fact that our God is real and glorious. The vast expanse of the universe reminds us that there is a great, big God who started it all. More than that, these stars throughout the universe are literally singing as their acoustics are sent out. Their words may not be heard but the message is clear: GOD IS WORTHY OF OUR WORSHIP.
So how about you? Are you worshiping God? Are you thankful for all that He has done? Are you singing His praises to anyone who will listen? Take time to slow down and honor God today. He is worthy. May your life be a melody that glorifies God each and every day.
