Can you hear creation praise or just the noise of modern life?
Noise and confusion; the sounds of war and hatred echo throughout the world. On our highways the relentless roar of traffic drowns the flutter of a butterfly.
But quietly, beneath the bedlam, sounds of joyful celebration can be heard from every corner of creation—but the sounds are only heard by those with ears to hear “the music of the spheres”.
The LORD is awesome in his creativity and sovereign power, love and grace. The beauty of his creation cries out for our notice and celebration. Sadly, our ears are often dumb and our eyes blind.
The writer of Psalm 148 primes our ears by crying out for every element of creation to praise God. Let us listen.
Praise the LORD from the heavens, praise him in the heights above.
Praise Him all his Angels
Praise Him all his heavenly host
Sun, moon and stars.
The moon and all the stars
You waters above the skies.
For he commanded and they were created. He set them in place
The great sea creatures and all ocean depths
Lighning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds
Mountains and all hills
Fruit trees and cedars
Wild animals and all cattle
Small creatures and flying birds.
Praise him kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth
Young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the LORD for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth.
He has raised up for his people a horn [JESUS]; the praise of all his saints. Of Israel, the people close to his heart.
!!! Praise the LORD!!!!
