God in nature (Psalm 104:1-35)

God in nature (Psalm 104:1-35)

1 Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honour and majesty.

2 Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment: who stretchest out the heavens like a curtain:

3 Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:

4 Who maketh his angels spirits; his ministers a flaming fire:

5 Who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.

6 Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment: the waters stood above the mountains.

7 At thy rebuke they fled; at the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.

8 They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys unto the place which thou hast founded for them.

9 Thou hast set a bound that they may not pass over; that they turn not again to cover the earth.

10 He sendeth the springs into the valleys, which run among the hills.

11 They give drink to every beast of the field: the wild asses quench their thirst.

12 By them shall the fowls of the heaven have their habitation, which sing among the branches.

13 He watereth the hills from his chambers: the earth is satisfied with the fruit of thy works.

14 He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;

15 And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart.

16 The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted;

17 Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house.

18 The high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.

19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.

20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the forest do creep forth.

21 The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their meat from God.

22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves together, and lay them down in their dens.

23 Man goeth forth unto his work and to his labour until the evening.

24 O LORD, how manifold are thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy riches.

25 So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.

26 There go the ships: there is that leviathan, whom thou hast made to play therein.

27 These wait all upon thee; that thou mayest give them their meat in due season.

28 That thou givest them they gather: thou openest thine hand, they are filled with good.

29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled: thou takest away their breath, they die, and return to their dust.

30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

31 The glory of the LORD shall endure for ever: the LORD shall rejoice in his works.

32 He looketh on the earth, and it trembleth: he toucheth the hills, and they smoke.

33 I will sing unto the LORD as long as I live: I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.

34 My meditation of him shall be sweet: I will be glad in the LORD.

35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD.

Psalm 104 God created the poet side of nature, looking at the mystery of God's creation is a song.

The psalmist everywhere, and two in the universe, the Creator of all beings have the power of God for the wonders that will not last. 

This poem appeared in the nature of praise to God's grace and power at noon.

 "O my soul! Praise the Lord, O LORD my God! A very prestigious honor and a dressing is great hast to In addition, stare at the sky when the psalmist, God saw that struck emblem. We are beyond the sky, not to gauge the limits of the universe. The immensity of the sky itself.

The poet of nature, all in order that God created the Creator because of the fact that in the reign of God knew exactly what was to come. Spring, summer, autumn and winter, without manure tirelessly continues and returning. Continued to hit like a  spinning top should be given a continuous spin for it to last , God will continue to run the universe is that you of what you are familiar with.

A point cloud into the air that flows deep in the valley of a stream which flows in the providence of God is coming is also what David saw: "I will lift up my eyes to the hills, where will my help come from? My help comes from the Lord who made the heaven and earth," he confessed.

Martin Luther, said "Nature is the second of the Bible,". God's revelation through nature and through nature, cherish the Bible you could know the glory of God who he is.

The Apostle Paul, Romans 1:20 verse, "the invisible things of him from Genesis, his eternal power and divine nature are clearly seen, to know the things that are made to pass that on," he has said.

God through the things that are made is showing his power and glory. So Jesus Behold the flows of the air, I saw the lily blossom in the field as he has asked me to. When the natural presence of God is that you can see that God is present in nature. Nevertheless, soon if not we must believe in God, and ask for forgiveness for our sin. Sin is worthy of hell. Our God is more fine again what a huge and vast and far more than things that it reigns.

This God, all creatures to live a natural life, and chose the rule. Therefore, the mystery of God is revealed in the natural order of things to look at is the wise man who knew how to appreciate.

Specifically look at verse 10, God of the various wild animals for livestock feeding the country grass, vegetables and oil, and form to those who love to say we'd be leaving and God will provide the needs for the wild animals for livestock..

God, through the land gave spring water supply so that the animals can have some water to drink . It soaked the valley that flows from underground springs, rivers and the sea. Not to mention the people, and all the creatures as well the birds in the air are living in the grace of God.

v.17 says, " Where the birds make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house."

Dwelling birds provided by God enjoys in the rest in their nest. In the highest mountains God created goats to be very useful, and in the rocky areas raccoons are were created to be very useful.

God cares about all creatures by his love. However, but the humans care continuously destroying animals and abusing the nature which they live in. When I was driving in the United States, you constantly see Road Kill-(animals that have died by a car left on the road) when you see them, and indeed it is almost a sad feeling. In order to prevent these things we also need to try to put effort to avoiding road kill. Because they are also creatures of God. God wants us all creatures to live in love and harmony.

Therefore, so we have restored by God in Christ. We should  be serving to preserve the nature of all things that needs to be done.

v. 15, says And wine that maketh glad the heart of man, and oil to make his face to shine, and bread which strengtheneth man's heart. God will let are hearts be joyful, to enrich his face and powerfully be victorious in the living things that is provided.

And in the end, it will reveal him to justice.

 v.35 says. " 35 Let the sinners be consumed out of the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless thou the LORD, O my soul. Praise ye the LORD."

Please we must believe in the love of God that he provides, and give thanks for the nature that you see even today. I pray that you may feel blessed by getting close to the nature that is created by God starting today. hallelujah!
