Psalm 104


Praise the Sovereign Lord for His Creation and Providence.

------------------------Speak to Soul---------------------------------
Have you ever spoken to yourself? What kind of things we speak to our soul?

Nebuchadnezzar spoke to himself and said.

 30 The king spoke, saying, “Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for a royal dwelling by my mighty power and for the honor of my majesty?”


Luke 12:19 says

19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease; eat, drink, and be merry.”’

People may say to their soul. Yes I did it,
But here the psalmist says Bless the Lord O my Soul.

Bless the Lord-------------------------Bless the Lord

This is the Life of a believer that always declares Bless the Lord.

V1 - Bless the lord , O my soul.
V 35 - Bless the Lord, O my soul.



Everything in a believers life should start with Blessing the Lord and ends with Blessing the Lord.

You don't have a job - I give thanks and I know You are my provider.
When you get the job - I give thanks because You have provided me the job.

Everything in believers life is about Bless the Lord O my soul.




Who God is?

Clothed with honor and majesty.
Covers Himself with light as with a garment.
1 Timothy 6:16
                       He dwells in unapproachable light.

------------------Creation-------------------------
V2 - You stretch out heavens like curtains.
V5  - Laid the foundations of the earth

When you look at the creation , you know about the Creator.
When iphone was invented, they say oh what a creation and what a creator.

Atheist story walking though woods.

we are living in a time where people spend more on gadgets to understand lot of things.
But go out into nature and see.

For kids growing up here, with the things you learn from school, we understand the challenges you face in understanding God.


That is why in Romans it says "
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse,


if you  look at the creation, God's invisible attributes - are clearly seen.


I was recently travelled to India. you almost travel above the waters for almost 9 hours.
i was thinking, how the water that flows over 9000 miles, with mighty and roaring waves , those waters even crosses the mountains that are in the middle of the seas, but comes and stops at your beach.
Job 38:10,11

“Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11 When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’

Thus far you may come, but no farther.


Provision:

He cares for Wild Animals  V11 . He gives drink to every beast of the    
    field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst.

He cares for Wild Animals  V12. By the side of the springs, the birds of the heavens have their home.

He water the hills  V13. He waters the hills.
How much water does it take to water your garden and how much times it takes.
He waters the hills.

He cares for lions V21 The young lions seek their food from God and He provides.
The lion is the king of the forest, but the Word says even the king of the forest seek food from God.You may be extraordinary, excellent or skilled or may be king in particular area, but seek from God.


Sometimes when you see national geographic channels and you see all this wild animals in the forest and think how do they get all provisions, its God who provider. He is the Provider.


V33 -  Sing to the Lord , sing Praise to God while I have my being.
yesterday I was speaking to bro Matthew. and he said we sing This is the day that the Lord has made,I will be glad and rejoice in it.

This is the day to sing to God, while you have breath.
This is the day to rejoice. 
Don't say today i am not in mood to sing. This is the day to Praise the Lord.
Let our meditation be sweet to Him.
