Silent Victories

REV. MARTIN SINDELL

The Psalmist looked farther into the star-lit canopy than do people ordinarily, when he exclaimed, "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge." People who have no knowledge of the infinite Creator, and who never have heard "the old, old story," may thoughtlessly tread upon earth's carpet of varied colors, or look in mute astonishment at the splendor of the heavens; but to him who has learned God's alphabet, and who interprets aright the heavens above and the earth beneath, all creation teaches grand lessons, and one of these is that its victories are stately and silent.

Each morning the darkness of the night is overcome, and that easily, because light is real (something), while darkness is unreal (nothing).
