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.
