December 10: The greatness of God in the creation.

Psalms 104:10-35:
He sends the springs into the valleys; they flow among the hills. They give drink to every beast of the field; the wild donkeys quench their thirst. By them the birds of the heavens have their home; they sing among the branches. He waters the hills from His upper chambers; the earth is satisfied with the fruit of Your works. He causes the grass to grow for the cattle, and vegetation for the service of man, that he may bring forth food from the earth, and wine that makes glad the heart of man, oil to make his face shine, and bread which strengthens man’s heart. The trees of the Lord are full of sap, the cedars of Lebanon which He planted, where the birds make their nests; the stork has her home in the fir trees. The high hills are for the wild goats; the cliffs are a refuge for the rock badgers. He appointed the moon for seasons; the sun knows its going down. You make darkness, and it is night, in which all the beasts of the forest creep about. The young lions roar after their prey, and seek their food from God. When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens. Man goes out to his work and to his labor until the evening. O Lord, how manifold are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all. The earth is full of Your possessions— this great and wide sea, in which are innumerable teeming things, living things both small and great. There the ships sail about; there is that Leviathan which You have made to play there. These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season. What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with good. You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the Lord endure forever; may the Lord rejoice in His works. He looks on the earth, and it trembles; He touches the hills, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. May my meditation be sweet to Him; I will be glad in the Lord. May sinners be consumed from the earth, and the wicked be no more. Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!

This is one of those psalms eloquently written exalting the Creator. If you read the entire psalm in detail, you will notice how the psalmist was looking at the way creation is connected to one another. He detailed how everything that has been formed has a specific purpose for living things to subsist on earth.
It is wonderful to read the way the psalmist saw the heaven and earth established. How everything has its specific and perfect place: the springs, the mountains, the sea, etc. Also how animals are satiated and cared for by the Almighty.
On the contrary, when God moves His hand to punish the earth, the creatures easily vanish.

This is a very beautiful read, especially for those who like the subject of Natural Sciences or Biology. With this psalm we can see that the sciences were very advanced in ancient times. Many kings used their position to bring scientists of the time to their court and thus they too learned a lot about nature. For example, Solomon was one of them.
And science, instead of denying God as some think, rather confirms that the ancestors were not wrong in declaring that only one Creator could have made all these things and they were not made from nothing.

I hope this psalm has filled you with faith and trust in the One who made all these wonderful creations, and who is the same One who called you, chose you and your family to be in His presence.

Consider this:
Have you received any revelation from God while admiring His creation?
