There is no speech and there are no words whose voice is not heard.
David describes, in a paradoxical way, the silent speech of creation. It has no human language or spoken words, yet its testimony is real. The heavens proclaim without a voice. This shows that the signs of God’s glory are accessible to people of different languages and cultures. Creation has no national boundary. For the believer, this is a reminder that the signs of God’s presence are often silent, but not insignificant. Beauty, order, and the wonder of life can raise in a person a question about the Creator. Yet silent testimony does not mean that human preaching is unnecessary. The Gospel must be proclaimed with words, because the saving work of Christ is special revelation. Creation says, “There is a Creator and He is glorious,” while Holy Scripture tells who He is and how He reconciles the sinner to Himself.
