The idea
that God created our world is often questioned, so perhaps it’s a good time for
a reminder of the praise we and all creation should heap on our heavenly Father
for His magnificent handiwork.
Hubble
can help us with that through its eye-popping pictures of our universe. Every
one of those brilliant photos points to stars that focus attention on God’s
creative majesty. “Praise Him, all you stars of light!” says verse 3.
A visit
to a zoo points us to the great diversity of wildlife God created. We look at
verses 7 and 10 and say thank you to God for sea creatures, wild animals,
insects, and birds.
And a few
minutes of watching little children singing uninhibited praises to God
symbolizes the truth that all people of earth should lift their voices in honor
of our Creator (vv.11-13).
Stars,
animals, and children: “Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name
alone is exalted” (v.13). Let’s join in saying thanks for His creation. “Praise
the Lord!”
Creation displays
God’s power. (RBC)
