The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
– Psalms 19:1-3 NKJV
The earth declares the handiwork of Heaven. Look with your eyes, behold the lofty granite mountains and the lush meadows, the dancing rivers and the whisper of the ocean’s gentle waves. Feel the wind on your face and the rain on your cheek. His name is written within all of these, on every blade of grass, in every droplet of water, written in the wind and written on stone. His autograph is on all of creation, His love expressed to each of us in daily reminders to seek Him first.
Sing praises to the Lord our God, for He is our Rock, a Mighty Tower rising to the skies. A Fortress, a Mountain, a cathedral of granite, His Glory reigns. His love is vast, greater than the span of the earth, higher than the tallest mountain peak. Though the mountains may shift, may change, may crumble, God remains unchanging. His love remains unchanged.
Sing praises to Jesus Christ, His Son. He is the source of Living Water. From Him comes cleansing, comes purification, comes sanctification. Our redemption comes from His blood, flowing and given freely. From Him comes the end of thirst, of ache, the end of exile. From Him comes entry, comes immersion into the family and the Kingdom of God. Streams of Living Water, Rivers of Life have washed us and made us presentable to the courts of Heaven and made our petitions heard by God’s heart.
Sing praises to the Holy Spirit, a Great Wind to ignite our hearts. Sing praises to the flowing air that nourishes our Holy Fire. He brings holy gifts to each of us and makes us whole in binding with each other in love and truth. He brings us perspective and power, help and peace when we allow Him to lead us in paths of the Father’s will. He creates and builds the Body of Christ.
Sing praises to the Father, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit. The sun is a pale reflection of His glorious light and the stars a signpost of His everlasting to everlasting being. The skies pour forth God’s provision and love and the earth a reminder of God’s care. The mountains and the oceans speak of the height and the depth of God’s love and the forest and the fields cry out of the tender mercies that He brings to us each day. Sing praises for His justice and His love. Sing praises for His abundance and His peace. Sing praises to His strength and patience. Pause, reflect on the wonder of His Being and sing praise to our God!
