Praise God Who Gives Breath to All Creation

Verses: Psalms 104: 1 - 35

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

My thoughts about the verses:

Isn’t it easy sometimes to look at the beautiful things on Earth and get lost in their radiance?  Isn’t it easy to feel the warmth of the sun and be overwhelmed by its touch?  Have you ever thought about the birds that are flying in the air and be awe inspired by their grace?  Have you ever watched the stars come out in their brightness and be mesmerized by their grace? 

All too often we get caught up in the works of God and forget who brought it all into existence.  We see the trees as they change their colors and we marvel at their beauty.  We see the flowers bloom in the spring and we are overcome with their radiance.  We see this yet we forget that God caused this all to happen.  We forget that God set the seasons.

We see young animals and think how cute they are.  We hear the chirping of the birds and our imagination swells of the thought of just glimpsing them as babies.  We see butterflies break with their cocoons and are amazed with their dazzling colors.  Yet, we forget to thank God because all that we see is a gift from God to us.  The very breath of life came from the one that created us all.

We see babies and are overcome with joy at the way they touch our hearts.  People forget that God created us just the way we are.  There are no rejects in the eyes of God.  Each and every person that has lived or will live on Earth was created in the image of the Most High.  There are no mistakes to God’s creation.  It doesn’t matter who you are today celebrate that God made you to be the special creation you are.

See what we need to do is praise God not the things God has made.  The things God has made help us remember the very loving presence of God.  Yet, we should lift our praises up to the creator of the breath of life.  The very Angels rejoice and sing praises to God out of love.  We need to praise God for the breath of life given to us.  We need to thank God for the seasons, the day and night, for all the creatures of this world.  We need to praise God for God is worthy of all our prayers.  We need to always remember it isn’t the things that God made that need to be praised instead it is God the creator that deserves our praise.

Prayer:

We praise you Creator of the Breath of Life.  We worship you for you are worthy to be praised.  We thank you for all that you have given to us.  We return our love to you for you first loved us.  We thank you for your continuing strength.  We praise you for the days that you continue to bestow on us.  Help us to always remember to put you first in our life.  In the name of the Breath of Life we pray.  Amen

Questions:

Are you praising God?  Have you accepted the gift of eternal life that God has given to you?  Can you feel the breath of the new life that is waiting for you to grab hold of?
