You asked

how do other biblical texts, like psalm 19, speak about the natural world revealing god?

The passage, plainly, with room to sit with it.

Psalm 19:1-4a

The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork. Day after day they pour forth speech, and night after night they display knowledge. There is no speech nor language. Their voice is not heard. Their voice goes out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world.

This psalm, traditionally attributed to King David, celebrates how God reveals himself. It moves from the grand display of the natural world to the specific revelation found in God's law, contrasting the vastness of creation with the precision of divine instruction.

How might noticing the natural world around us prompt a deeper sense of wonder or purpose?
