Episode 11 Psalm 19: Hearing God’s Voice in Creation and His Word

Episode 11 Psalm 19: Hearing God’s Voice in Creation and His Word

Have youever looked up at the stars on a clear night and felt awe at their vastness? Welcometo ‘2 Minutes with the Lord.’ I am your host on the show Fr. Dominic VeigasSVD. Psalm 19 begins with this sense of wonder, proclaiming that creation is a testimonyto God’s glory. But it doesn’t stop there—it also celebrates the beauty andpower of God’s Word.

Today,let’s reflect on how God speaks to us through both the vastness of the heavensand the pages of Scripture.

“Let’slisten to the opening verses of Psalm 19 and let the imagery draw us intoworship.”

‘Theheavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Dayafter day they pour forth speech;

night after night they reveal knowledge.

They have no speech, they use no words;

nosound is heard from them.

Yettheir voice goes out into all the earth,

theirwords to the ends of the world.’

“Psalm 19is often described as a Psalm of revelation because it shows us two ways Godspeaks to us: through creation and His Word.

The first half of the Psalm focuses on nature. It describes the heavens as declaringGod’s glory, the skies proclaiming the work of His hands. Imagine that for amoment—the sun rising each morning, the stars shining at night, all like asilent symphony praising the Creator.

This iswhat theologians call ‘general revelation’—the way God reveals Himself to allpeople through the natural world.

Have youever felt that pull when standing in awe of a sunrise, a mountain, or theocean?

That’screation pointing you to its Maker.

Thesecond half of the Psalm shifts to the ‘law of the Lord,’ or God’s Word. Here,the psalmist moves from the vastness of the heavens to the intimate guidance ofScripture. He says, ‘The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul.’

Whilecreation reveals God’s power and majesty, His Word reveals His will andcharacter, giving us a roadmap for life. Together, these two voices—the voiceof creation and the voice of Scripture—draw us closer to God.

Whatmight happen if we paused to listen to both? To look up at the heavens with aweand open God’s Word with the same reverence?”

“Psalm 19beautifully bridges the gap between nature and Scripture. In ancient Israel,people often saw creation as a canvas on which God painted His glory. Forexample, the sun, which the psalmist describes as a bridegroom rejoicing in itscourse, symbolizes constancy and provision.

But thetransition to God’s Word is just as important. The psalmist highlights that the‘law of the Lord is perfect,’ this law doesn’t just inform—it transforms.

Itrefreshes the soul, gives wisdom to the simple, and brings joy to the heart.This echoes what Paul writes in Romans 1:20: Creation makes God’s invisiblequalities clear, but it’s through Scripture that we understand His heart andHis call on our lives.

Together,these two revelations—creation and Scripture—remind us that God is bothinfinite and personal. He is the Creator of the cosmos and the One who wants toguide your every step.”

Psalm 19celebrates God’s revelation through creation and His Word, uniting natural andspecial revelation in one hymn of praise.

Thethemes of this Psalm are Creation’s Testimony, God’s Word, and personalResponse; the final verses shift to a personal prayer, asking God for cleansingand guidance.

“Thisweek, take two moments to listen to God’s voice:

Thank youfor joining me today. Psalm 19 reminds us to slow down and listen—to see God’sglory in the heavens and to hear His guidance in His Word.

Thisweek, marvel at creation and open your heart to Scripture. Join me next time aswe continue exploring the Psalms, and until then, let God’s voice fill yourlife with wonder and wisdom.

Episode 08 Healing of Ten Lepers

Episode 08 Healing of Ten Lepers

Welcome back to '2 Minutes with the Lord.' I'm your host, Fr. Veigas Dominic SVD, and today, we're stepping into the world of one of Jesus' most profound miracles—the healing of the ten lepers. But we won't look at this as just another story about healing. This story is about what it means to be restored—not just physically, but in terms of belonging, identity, and community. It's a story about how we treat those on the margins and how radical inclusion can bring true transformation."   Imagine you're walking through a city, and as you pass by an alleyway, you notice a group of people huddled together. They're homeless. Forgotten by society, living on the fringes, unseen by the thousands of people passing them by daily. Some are struggling with addiction, some with mental illness. Each of them has their own story, but they all share one thing in common: isolation. In this busy, bustling world, they've become invisible."
