5/18/09 Psalm 104

SCRIPTURE:
(Please share the verse(s) which speak to you)
May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works. (Psalm 104:31 Holman)
OBSERVATION:
This is from a psalm that extols the glory and power of God’s creation. The psalm describes how God provides and protects. All of Creation is to proclaim God’s glory and power.
APPLICATION:
Sometimes it is hard to see God’s creative power and glory in the midst of humanities’ destruction of the planet. We must show our respect and thanksgiving that we have been given all we need in this life through the natural resources God so generously granted.
As individuals we must give glory by recycling, reducing and re-using the resources we have been given. We must also require this of all human institutions.
PRAYER:
Lord the heavens and all of creation speaks of your glory. Forgive us for our miss-use and abuse. Teach us to give glory by taking care of what you have given.
YES:
I will recycle, reduce and re-use (not as a political correctness statement) as a way of giving glory to God.
