God's Glory Church

“I tell you that when these are silent, the stones will cry out.” — Luke 19:40

Bluestone is an amazing type of stone. If you hit it, some stones may ring. In the Welsh village of Maenklocog, whose name means “bell” or “stone that rings”, bluestones were used as church bells until the eighteenth century. It is interesting that the ruins of Stonehenge in England were built of blue stone, which leads some to think: is the original purpose of the monument connected with music. Researchers claim that the blue stones of Stonehenge were brought from an area near Myenclocog (about two hundred miles away) because of its unique acoustic properties.

The ringing stones are another wonder of God’s creation, and it reminds us of the words Jesus spoke when He entered Jerusalem. When the people praised Jesus, the religious leaders rebuked Him for it. “And He answered them: “I tell you that when these are silent, the stones will cry out” (Lk. 19:40).

If blue stones can make music, and if Jesus said that even stones glorify the Creator, then what should our praise be to the One who made us, loves us, and saved us? He is worthy of all worship. May the Holy Spirit fill us with the praise to God that He deserves. All creation praises him.

How does creation glorify God? How to join the daily worship of the Creator?

Creator God, You deserve all praise, worship and gratitude. If my heart grows coarse and I forget Your dignity, remind me that all creation sings Your praise.
