The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 104:31-32,
"May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in his works— he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke."
The view in this psalm is all about God's creation. It showcases God as the Creator of all things and the Sustainer who maintains the creation. The psalm is all about those things we see around us: the earth and its watery depths, springs, wildlife, the birds, grass, food and drink that is produced from the earth's fields, trees, the moon, the sun, nighttime, daytime, sea creatures and on and on.
I am reminded of what the writer of Hebrews said about the creation and maintenance of the earth as well as the cosmos, "In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son [Jesus Christ], whom he appointed heir of all things, and through whom also he made the universe. The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven." Hebrews 1:1-3.
The view of God's creation is all anyone needs to find God, "For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse." Romans 1:20. And, the view of God's creation is all anyone needs to find cause to worship God as this psalm does.
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share what moved you about him from your Bible reading today. I'd love to hear from you!
If you have someone you would like to receive these ruminations, send me their email address. I'm happy to add them to the list. If you are receiving this and would like to be removed from the list, just reply and let me know.
