Let's Give Him Praise!

Even though we’re Christians, we sometimes forget about the greatness of God’s majesty. And like Job, we need to hear anew the details of the wonders of God’s creative power.

Job’s suffering led him to doubt God, so our heavenly Father reminded him, and us, of His unfathomable ways:

1) He laid the earth’s "foundations" (Job 38:4).
2) He set the boundaries of the "sea" (Job 38:8).
3) He sends the "morning" sun (Job 38:12).
4) He controls life and "death" (Job 38:17).
5) He sends the "snow, rain, and hail" (Job 38:22; Job 38:26; Job 38:30).
6) He imprints "understanding to the heart" (Job 38:36).
7) He sets the time for the birth of animals (Job 39:1-3).
8) He gives creatures like the "ostrich" their unusual ways of life (Job 39:13-18).
9) He instills the "horse" with great power (Job 39:19-25).
10) He directs the "hawk" and the "eagle" (Job 39:26-30).

Each day, the earth shouts aloud a song of recognition of its Creator. Let’s take some time today to echo that tune and pour out our praise to our mighty God.

May we never forget God’s awesome majesty! This day (and every day – Psalm 118:24), let’s give Him praise! (Psalm 69:34; Psalm 150:6).
