Psalms 104 - God-the-Creator!

Aug. 7, 2017 Monday Message:

“Lord my God, you are very great.” Psalms 104:1b

God is the creator of everything, and Psalm 104 describes most of it, starting with light and darkness. God created both heaven and earth, and the earthly description mentions clouds, wind, fire, water and mountains.

David moves on mentioning growing things: grass, trees, other plants, and food for animals and mankind.

Finally, things that are alive: cattle, birds, goats, hyrax and lions.

God made the moon to mark the seasons, and separated the day from the night. He made the sea and all its inhabitants. All creatures look to God for their food, and God delivers just the right amount at the proper time. When God takes away their breath, they die and return to the earth as dust.

The Psalm concludes with a worship prayer: “May the glory of the Lord endure forever. I will sing to my God as long as I live.”

And then, almost as a P.S., the psalmist adds, “May sinners vanish from the earth and the wicked be no more.” v35a

God’s world is a wonderful place in which we get to live!
