You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.
At your command, the water fled; 
at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away. Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.
...
You cause grass to grow for the livestock and plants for people to use. You allow them to produce food from the earth - wine to make them glad, 
olive oil to soothe their skin, 
and bread to give them strength.
...
Then people go off to their work, 
where they labor until evening. 
O Lord, 
what a variety of things you have made! 
In wisdom you have made them all. 
The earth is full of your creatures.
Psalms 104:6,7,8,14,15,23,24 NLT
This song sweeps through Creation, covers some specific parts of God's creation, declares it all to be good, and includes where people interact with God's creation and do something with it, make wine, olive oil, bread. 
It even celebrates work.
This song celebrates the story that we're part of, a story it is so easy to lose sight of, so where can we take a moment to look up, to listen, to breathe in some of our God's creative genius?
Look for that opportunity today.

Joseph replied..."Dont you see, you planned evil against me but God used those same plans for my good, as you see all around you right now - life for many people..." Genesis 50:19-20 MSG The view from the drone. The different perspective. "God has been at work in my life despite, in fact within the hatred that you had towards me. Even though I couldn't always see it, I kept trusting Him, even when He was silent, when all hope seemed lost... God was at work... Can you see that now?" #faith #faithinthedark
Genesis 15.8-18.ESV But he said O Lord God , how am I to know that I shall possess it? ...When the sun had gone down and it was dark, behold, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram... March 15 was the last day we looked at Abram's story...he was questioning God and this is God's response...sacrifices and smoke and fire and a covenant...a promise... Isn't that what we crave for sometimes? God, if only you'd just show me smoke & fire, a burning bush a sign, miracle, healing...then all my questions would disappear...all my doubts would be gone... 2moro we'll see Abram's response but I think God values our faith in spite of our questions and doubts. That we choose Him anyway #faith
Psalm 42.1-11.nlt As the deer longs for streams of water, so I long for you, O God... I thirst for God, the living God. When can I go and stand before him? O God my rock l cry, Why have you forgotten me? Why must I wander around in grief, oppressed by my enemies? Their taunts break my bones. They scoff, Where is this God of yours? Why am I discouraged? Why is my heart so sad? I will put my hope in God! I will praise him again - my Savior and my God! That song "as the deer pants for the water..." seems almost nice, but it's not...it's part of a cry of anguish, of hurt, of despair...of God not giving an answer...yet...through all that...again and again he says I'll put my hope in God! #choose #hope #hopeunshaken
