Psalm 19:1-4a:
1 THE HEAVENS declare the glory of God; and the firmament shows and proclaims His handiwork. 2 Day after day pours forth speech, and night after night shows forth knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor spoken word [from the stars]; their voice is not heard. 4 Yet their voice [in evidence] goes out through all the earth, their sayings to the end of the world.
Look at these verses from the Message Bible:
1 God's glory is on tour in the skies, God-craft on exhibit across the horizon.
2 Madame Day holds classes every morning, Professor Night lectures every evening.
3 Their words aren't heard, their voices aren't recorded,
4 But their silence fills the earth: unspoken truth is spoken everywhere.
Remember that Psalm 14:1 says that "The empty-headed fool has said in his heart, There is no God." All of creation is SHOUTING the "Case For The Creator"! You cannot SERIOUSLY look around at the immensity of the universe and the complexity of just one living cell and not KNOW that God IS! HALLELUJAH! Here are some pictures of space taken from the Hubble Telescope.
The heavens do indeed declare HIS glory! Just click on these for a larger view!
Matthew 19:1-2:
1 NOW WHEN Jesus had finished saying these things, He left Galilee and went into the part of Judea that is beyond the Jordan. 2 And great throngs accompanied Him, and He cured them there.
It was quite a long walk from the area around the Galilee to the area of Judea that was beyond the Jordan River! These people accompanied Him! That means they walked along with Him! Here are some pictures that show the areas referred to here:
What happens to the people who accompany, or follow after Jesus? They are delivered, set free, healed! Keep in close proximity to Jesus every day by being aware of His presence through prayer, praise & worship, study & meditation of His Word and intimate fellowship with Him. Then YOU can walk in deliverance, health, prosperity, wisdom, anointing, blessing every day! How much do YOU want that? Only YOU can make that choice for yourself! AMEN!
2 Chronicles 18-19 we see God saving Jehoshaphat even though he aligned himself with Ahab. Verse 3 of chapter 19 tells us one of the reasons:
3 But there are good things found in you, for you have destroyed the Asherim out of the land and have set your heart to seek God [with all your soul's desire].
That sounds a little like David, who was a man after God's heart! Make sure that YOU are putting HIM as your first priority and your first love. You will find yourself walking in a measure of God's protection, provision and safety that others don't know who DON'T put HIM first!
Shalom in Him!
