Marvelous Maker
August 19, 2018
How many are your works, Lord! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
Psalm 104:24
As an amateur photographer, I enjoy capturing glimpses of Gods creativity with my camera. I see His fingerprints on each delicate flower petal, each vibrant sunrise and sunset, and each cloud-painted and star-speckled sky canvas.
My cameras powerful zoom option allows me to take photos of the Lords creatures too. Ive snapped shots of a chattering squirrel in a cherry blossom tree, a colorful butterfly flitting from bloom to bloom, and sea turtles sunning on a rocky, black beach. Each one-of-a-kind image prompted me to worship my marvelous Maker.
Im not the first of Gods people to praise Him while admiring His unique creations. The writer of Psalm 104 sings of the Lords many works of art in nature (v. 24). He regards the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number (v. 25) and rejoices in God for providing constant and complete care for His masterpieces (vv. 2731). Considering the majesty of the God-given life around him, the psalmist bursts with worshipful gratitude: I will sing to the Lord all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live (v. 33).
While reflecting on the Lords magnificent and immense creation, we can look closely at His intentional creativity and attention to detail. And like the psalmist, we can sing to our Creator with thankful praise for how powerful, majestic, and loving He is and always will be. Hallelujah!
Gods works are marvelous, and so is He.
This remarkable psalm is like an orchestra proclaiming the different sights and sounds of creation. Land and sea; sky and clouds; animal and plant life; light and darkness all point to the ultimate reality of God. Its easy for the reader to be reminded of the Genesis account of creation that describes the glory of God (Genesis 12). Psalm 104 doesnt read like an objective and dispassionate record of what we see in nature, however. Instead, the psalmist finds in all of creation a marvelous symphony that exalts the Creator. Creation is the signpost pointing to the majesty of God: For since the creation of the world Gods invisible qualitieshis eternal power and divine naturehave been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made (Romans 1:20).
Be on the lookout today for something in creation for which you can express praise to God.

Good evening, Pro...I just got home. I spent a few hours at work trying to get some neglected paperwork done. But then I went and had a LONG lunch with an old friend of my folks and me, too. And her granddaughter came...I had eggs over easy, hash browns, sausage, and blueberry pancakes. Then we just sat and talked for an hour...we had a great time and I’m so full I can hardly walk.
A Blessed Lord’s Day to you and yours.
Did your work week go well?

Thanks Kathy!
I have been running in silent mode for a week.
The congressman that got caught insider trading was my congressman.
I’m trying to get 2 of my friends the seat, the establishment
hates me so I remain quiet until either one gets it or,
if not I go bombastic on the establishment.
The whole system is so corrupt.

Thursday night was the big ride on Blue. Since then the rain has put a kibosh of any riding.
And penny is still enjoying her leisurely hot summer dog-days!

I surely get your strategy...good luck to your 2 friends.
Replace the bad ones with good ones enough and maybe the system will get cleaned up.

Howdy, Kathy.
It sounds like you had a pretty nice afternoon! It’s been a little while since you’ve gotten together with Dot and her granddaughter.
I hope you were able to put a good dent in all that paperwork.

Howdy, PRO.
Got here late and it looks like I missed ya. Drat. A couple of friends from out of state showed up unexpectedly (by me any way) and they just went to bed a short time ago.
Hope you had a nice Sat. It sounds like last evening was a lot of fun.
