Creation Praise



I enjoy my early morning walks because it gives me a chance to reflect upon things that are happening with and around me. Everything is still (besides the early commuters making their way to work) and you hear the birds begin to greet the new morning.
Reading Psalms 19 reminds me of how creation continually praises God our creator-every moment. It's like watching a movie clip. Let's begin...........look up to the heavens...

The heavens declare the glory of God
the skies proclaim the work of His hands.

How do they praise God?
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.
They 'pour forth speech' through the sunshine, rain,
the different seasons. At night, the moon and stars speak.

There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

What else?
The heavens is like a tent for the sun.
In the heavens, He has pitched a tent, which is
like a bridegroom coming forth from His pavilion,
like a champion rejoicing to run his course.

And what does the sun do?
It rises at one end of the heavens,
and makes it circuit to the other;
nothing is hidden from its heat.

To me, the sun is like the glory of God, as it makes its daily triumphant sweep across the whole extent of the heavens. It pours out its heat (felt Presence) on every creature.

What does this tell us/me about our Creator?
Through Him, all things were made.John 1:3 and He is a God of order.
For night and day to keep rolling, creation to keep sustaining itself, they testify of the existence, goodness and faithfulness of the One who created them!

The song by Marc Byrd/Steve Hindalong, "God Of Wonders' is so true. Part of the song is:

Lord of all creation,
Of water, earth and sky.
The heavens are your tabernacle.
Glory to the Lord on high.

God of wonders beyond our galaxy.
You're holy,holy
The universe declares your majesty
You're holy,holy
Lord of heaven and earth.

Awesome and most loving Father, just as Your beautiful creation praise and greet You each morning, may I also praise and acknowledge You each moment. Amen.
