People who live in the city sometimes forget that God is the God of creation and nature. In India alone, more than 2000+ a acres of pavement are laid each day. Before long, God’s creation might be completely covered by concrete and asphalt. We need to pause and get reacquainted with the God of creation (Read vv.5-7,9). The psalmist refers to the Flood in Noah’s day. It was God’s judgement. But the next judgement He sends will be by fire, not water.

Water also is a blessing. Verses 10 is a beautiful picture of the rivers and springs and hills, all of which enable animals to have food and drink. Verses 11 speaks that, the birds of the heavens nest in the trees by this river side. I like the phrase in verse 12 — “they sing among the branches.” God waters the Earth. The crops grow, the man and the beast are able to live. And as an extra blessing, He put the birds in the branches to sing. All of creation is satisfied (v.13).

The God of creation also is the God of salvation, and He can satisfy your thirsty soul today.

As you observe nature, you are reminded of God’s physical provision. He also provides for the spiritual needs of His people. Do you have a need today? Ask God to flood your soul with His blessing!
