It's me again God,

Waiting for the sun to rise, I come to You because You bring me more light than a lifetime of sunrises! You made so many amazing things when You created this world but I cannot get past how glorious You are!

When I think of a typical day in my life, I know that a lot of my time is spent marvelling various wonders of Creation. Paul cited the problem with this when he was referring to those who didn't know You:

"They worshiped and served the things God made rather than the God who made all things—glory and praises to him forever and ever! Amen!"
‭‭Romans‬ ‭1:25‬ ‭TPT‬‬

You have truly blessed me so much but it challenges me when I think of how I can also get caught up in enjoying Your Creation and not actually acknowledge You! There is a fine line here and certainly those who don't know You only worship what they see but I will continue to worship You and see Your beauty in the sunrise, Your power in the roaring of the ocean, Your gentleness in the breeze and Your splendour in the colours all around me!

Today I join with David in singing Your praises:

"Go ahead—sing your new song to the Lord!
Let everyone in every language sing him a new song.
Don't stop! Keep on singing! Make his name famous!
Tell everyone every day how wonderful he is.
Give them the good news of our great Savior.
Take the message of his glory and miracles to every nation.
Tell them about all the amazing things he has done.
For the Lord's greatness is beyond description
and he deserves all the praise that comes to him.
He is our King-God and it's right to be in holy awe of him.
Other gods are absolutely worthless.
For the Lord God is Creator-God, who spread the splendor of the skies!
Breathtaking brilliance and awe-inspiring majesty radiate from his shining presence.
His stunning beauty overwhelms all who come before him.
Surrender to the Lord Yahweh, all you nations and peoples.
Surrender to him all your pride and strength.
Confess that Jehovah alone deserves all the glory and honor.
Bring an offering and come celebrate in his courts.
Come worship the Lord God wearing the splendor of holiness.
Let everyone wait in wonder as they tremble in awe before him.
Tell the nations plainly that Yahweh rules over all!
He is doing a great job, and nothing will disrupt him, for he treats everyone fair and square. Let the skies sing for joy! Let the earth join in the chorus.
Let oceans thunder and fields echo this ecstatic praise until every swaying tree of every forest joins in, lifting up their songs of joyous praise to him!"
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭96:1-12‬ ‭TPT‬‬

In Jesus' Name,
Amen.
