A Psalm of Praise




 Bless the Lord and praise Him

       With your entire being!

Allow all his works throughout the earth

       Wherever his dominion stretches

Let everything bless the Lord.” Psalm 103:22

 

When I consider all that God has created;

Just pondering everything he has made,

I am overwhelmed emotionally

 

Consider the earth and how it provides for us

From the lakes, streams, and oceans

Fish, whales, deer, bison, cows, and chickens

His provision is in abundance

 

Look at the gardens and fields of golden wheat

Salads and bread come from these

Nurturing our bodies

Keeping us healthy

 

Observe the flowers in the fields and gardens

Their beauty cannot be contained

The colors are reflections of heaven

Given to mankind to enjoy

 

Step out of any self-pity and look around you

Marvel at the existence of this majestic beauty

God has provided for his creation

Engage it. Live in it. Appreciate it.

 

So, bless the Lord YHWH

       Who lives in Jerusalem

       And dwells in Zion’s glory

Hallelujah, and praise the Lord!”  Psalm 135:21

 

****Extra Note****

God created all this for our pleasure

The sons of God as they step out in sonship

We do not have to be afraid of the elements

But, partnering with them because

We are one with the Father’s heart
