The skies are a wonderful springboard for praising God. We can study them throughout the day to praise God for his creation, beauty and majesty. Here are some practical tips for studying the skies.

Is any place more beautiful than a well-tended garden?
God planted a love of beauty in our hearts, back in the garden of Eden, intended to help us worship him. Eve first opened her eyes in the most beautiful garden that has ever existed. Can you imagine her delight and pleasure in those first moments, when her gaze first took in God’s glorious creation?
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me.
You know when I sit and when I rise;
you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down;
you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue
you know it completely, O Lord.
You hem me in–behind and before;
you have laid your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me,
too lofty for me to attain.
For you created my inmost being;
you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
your works are wonderful,
I know that full well.
All the days ordained for me
were written in your book
before one of them came to be.
How precious to me are your thoughts, O God!
How vast is the sum of them!
Were I to count them,
they would outnumber the grains of sand.
When I am awake,
I am still with you.
Search me, O God, and know my heart;
test me and know my anxious thoughts.
See if there is any offensive way in me,
and lead me in the way everlasting.

Bend down, O Lord, and hear my prayer;
answer me, for I need your help.
Protect me, for I am devoted to you.
Save me, for I serve you and trust you.
You are my God.
Be merciful, O Lord, for I am calling on you constantly.
Give me happiness, O Lord, for my life depends on you.
O Lord, you are so good, so ready to forgive, so full of unfailing love for all who ask your aid.
Listen closely to my prayer, O Lord; hear my urgent cry.
I will call to you whenever trouble strikes, and you will answer me.
Psalm 86:1-7 NLT
