Praise God for the Very Nature God has Given to Us

Verses: Psalms 65: 1 - 13

Song inspired by the chapter:  Song has been uploaded from YouTube.com and is not my original.

My thoughts about the verses:

Take one moment and think of all the things that God has given to us.  Everything that we see in nature is a gift given to us by God.  No matter what we look at it is given to us by God to enjoy.  We should thank God for all the things that we have been given.

Think about the sun that shines so that we can enjoy the day.  Think about the moon that gives us light and hope for the future.   The stars are in the sky to remind us of the greatness of God.  The heat that radiates from the sun reminds us how much God wants to love us.

Think about all the beautiful colors that God has given to us.  Look at all the multiple colors of flowers that give us the very essence of love.  The trees with all of their different shapes and colors that provide us shade and remind us of God’s peace.  Think about the grass as it changes colors reminding us of new growth and eternal life.

Then we need to think about the other gifts of nature.  Listen to the rain that brings us cool water.  Savor the various vegetables that give us nutrients.  Cherish the multiple animals that give us companionship and nutrients. 

Not only has given us all the physical things that we need to survive, but also our spiritual needs.  Jesus came to Earth to die so that we may have everlasting life.  This is a true free gift that we are all offered.  God wants us to be one of the many Children of God.  The gift is ours if we choose to accept Jesus.

When we are thinking about all the things that we have been giving to us there is only one thing that we can do.  We need to offer our praises to God.   We need to thank God for giving us all of our needs.  We need to worship God for everything that is given to us.

Praising God is our way of honoring God for the gifts that have been given to us.  Worshiping God is our way of expressing our enduring love to God.  Thank God is our way of showing true respect and gratitude for what God has done for us. 

Prayer:

We thank you God for loving us.  Thank you for providing our physical needs.  Thank you for providing our spiritual needs.  Help us be the people that praise you all the time.  Help us share your love with others.  Help us be a witness of your enduring gifts.  In the name of the Creator we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Have you accepted the spiritual gift that God gives us freely?  Do you think God for the gifts that are feely given? Do you worship God with an open heart?
