Mark and his friends gathered for an informal worship service at a shady spot in a state park. When they began singing the setting was quiet. As they continued singing, however, they became aware of a choir of birds, high in the treetops. It was as though creation were joining in praising God. When they quit singing, the birds ceased singing too. The forest fell silent once more. The writers of the psalms spoke about worshipping and singing praises to the Lord.
Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord; let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation (Psalm 95:1).
Often, they wrote about the beauty and uniqueness of nature: thundering waterfalls, flaming sunsets, and colorful flowers. Other times, they saw God’s presence and felt His blessings in the everyday things of life. When Christians walk through the day with an awareness of God’s presence, they can see and hear creation praising God in a variety of ways.
O God, all of creation sings Your praise. Let me join with them every day.
