“For ye
shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills
shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall
clap their hands.” Isaiah 55:12 KJV
The Bible repeatedly describes a
very exuberant creation. I love to hike, but I think I would really be freaked
out if the ground I was walking on suddenly began to sing. What if the trees in
the forest burst out in the “Hallelujah Chorus”? How about all those beautiful
prairie flowers belting out an anthem of praise for their one solitary day of
beauty? Jesus said the most regal king has never looked as good as the lowly
flower of the field.
God was really putting things
together for man. He made light, air, land, sea, grass and flowers and fruit
trees. He took a lot of care in preparing a world that would be just right for
us. He thought of every need we would have and made sure we would lack nothing
before he put us here. That same God is still caring for us today. He wants us
to respond back to Him as does the rest of His creation. He desires our praise.
Maybe we can’t hear the praise songs that nature sings, but we should certainly
make sure that God hears the songs of praise we sing.
Dear
Father, All of Your creation sings Your praise; let me not be silent. Amen.
