Your Smallest and Biggest Teachers

^{1 2} The heavens keep telling the wonders of God, and the skies declare what he has done. ³ Each day informs the following day; each night announces to the next. ⁴ They don't speak a word, and there is never the sound of a voice. ⁵ Yet their message reaches all the earth, and it travels around the world. In the heavens a tent is set up for the sun. ⁶ It rises like a bridegroom and gets ready like a hero eager to run a race. ⁷ It travels all the way across the sky. Nothing hides from its heat. ⁸ The Law of the is perfect; it gives us new life. His teachings last forever, and they give wisdom to ordinary people. ⁹ The 's instruction is right; it makes our hearts glad. His commands shine brightly, and they give us light. ¹⁰ Worshiping the is sacred; he will always be worshiped. All his decisions are correct and fair. ¹¹ They are worth more than the finest gold and are sweeter than honey from a honeycomb. ¹² By your teachings, Lord, I am warned; by obeying them, I am greatly rewarded. ¹³ None of us know our faults. Forgive me when I sin without knowing it. ¹⁴ Don't let me do wrong on purpose, Lord, or let sin have control over my life. Then I will be innocent, and not guilty of some terrible fault.

Psalm 19

²⁵ I tell you not to worry about your life. Don't worry about having something to eat, drink, or wear. Isn't life more than food or clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds in the sky! They don't plant or harvest. They don't even store grain in barns. Yet your Father in heaven takes care of them. Aren't you worth much more than birds? ²⁷ Can worry make you live longer? ²⁸ Why worry about clothes? Look how the wild flowers grow. They don't work hard to make their clothes. ²⁹ But I tell you that Solomon with all his wealth wasn't as well clothed as one of them. ³⁰ God gives such beauty to everything that grows in the fields, even though it is here today and thrown into a fire tomorrow. God will surely do even more for you! Why do you have such little faith?
