We can't even wrap our tiny mortal minds around all that God is.  The reality of His glory and power are waaaayyy too much for us to take-in or even imagine.  

But we can try.

And the writer of Psalm 104 does his very best to describe God's digs and how He is dressed.  The Psalmist waxes eloquent and paints a gorgeous word-portrait of our Almighty God.

No one can capture all that God is.

But we can try.  

And in realizing the awesome glory of God, it causes a reaction in us: praise.  We must acknowledge God's authority and beauty in some way, and our reaction to is to praise Him.

Let all that I am praise the Lord.  O Lord my God, how great you are!  You are robed with honor and majesty.  (2) You are dressed in a robe of light.  You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; (3) you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.  You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.  (4) The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.  ~Psalm 104:1-4

Let all that I am praise the Lord.  O Lord my God, how great you are!  You are robed with honor and majesty.  ~Psalm 104:1


You are dressed in a robe of light.  You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens...  ~Psalm 104:2



(3) you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.  You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.  ~Psalm 104:3



(4) The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.  ~Psalm 104:4


When we stop for a moment and remember and acknowledge God's might and creativity and the power and beauty that He has crowned Creation with...well, who can capture all of that with words?  

No one can capture all that God is.

But we can try.  

Let all that I am praise the Lord.  O Lord my God, how great you are!  You are robed with honor and majesty.  (2) You are dressed in a robe of light.  You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; (3) you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.  You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.  (4) The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.  ~Psalm 104:1-4

At work, we provide Trainings for customers, so that they can be updated and educated on all of the latest features (and how to use them) within our product.  Many companies do this--sharing "Best Practices" are a way to ensure positive outcomes on the customer and vendor sides of things. My kids often offer me "life hacks" that they have learned from watching an online video promising to "save time" and "make your life easier".  And just this week, my husband enlightened me about the "tear-away" feature built into most plastic rings holding cans/bottles of pop or Gatorade together.  When separated, the plastic rips open easily, releasing the bottle--saving wildlife that might be caught if it is discarded as trash, and saving me  frustration or angst because I no longer have to pull with all my might to get a bottle out of the plastic rings.  ( Who knew? )  Life hacks do save time and make your life easier! Who couldn't benefit from...

The unanswered “why’s” of life, the disorder of our days, and even the unfairness of our struggles can cause us to question ourselves and also to question our God. But the order-of-Creation and the systems that God has set in place are undeniable answers that swing back and forth like God’s pendulum-reminder that He set the world in motion, and He continues to keep order, even when it seems as if we and our world are in dis- order.   Job was a man going through some heavy and hard stuff.   Maybe we are too.   Job’s trials had caused him to question the order of life, and possibly God’s dominion over it.   We can relate.   The “Why’s?” and the “Why Me’s” can stack up in our minds and hearts, but like a parent exercising loving-authority over a child, God reminds Job and us--of His power, omniscience and of His ultimate authority over everything: Creation… and us today .   Then the  Lord  answered Job from the whirlwind: (2) “Who i...

Running low on " good things " today?  Doesn't it (sometimes) seem like/trend like/read like/tweet like/water-cooler-chat or backyard-fence-visit like/intimidate like/depress like... there are no  good things in the land? . I know. It's no secret that many have abandoned  the Law of the  Lord,  and at times, that's us .   It is evident all around us that people have  followed each other  in this sin.  When we look around...or when we live our days...we can wonder: Are there  any  good things  left in the land? There are still some good things in the land ...and no matter how bleak we feel the "forecast" for today is...there will always  be  some good things in the land, because God is in the land.   T he Bible reminds us of that today.   ~~~ The Israelites (and their king, Rehoboam ) were God's people, but like all of us at times/seasons of our lives...they wandered from Lord and His ways....
