2606) When I taught school, we would have a daily time of announcements heard through the speaker in my room. The sudden voice from the office rarely surprised me, but when these announcements came later than the usual time, it could startle me.

By nature, the school administration makes announcements for specific purposes such as changes in the schedule, what the student council will be doing, field trip departure times, and even changes in the lunch menu.

Psalm 19:1 tells us God makes announcements regularly, too. It tells us, the heavens declare the glory of God, and the sky above proclaims his handiwork. (ESV)

The word, declare, is caphar in Hebrew. It means to announce.

The God of the entire universe announces to us daily who he is. All we have to do is look at the sunrise, the mountain range, the ocean, and the stars and know we have a great and creative God.
