“Bless the Lord, O my soul! O Lord my God, You are very great; You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering Yourself with light as with a cloak, stretching out heaven like a tent curtain.” (Psalm 104:1-2)

Look out into the world and what do you see? Who can create the beauty of a mountain range? Who can create the intricacy of any animal? How glorious is the sunset or the stars in the sky. The Lord has created magnificent things that reflect only a small part of His glory. It is He who has done all of these things and those things which we have not yet begun to comprehend.

Lord, in all the grandeur of what You have made, You created me. Help me to find the place in creation where You have made Your spot for me. Guide me into the place where I know and rejoice in the fact that I am one of Your created beings. Lift up my countenance to see in all things Your glory and grandeur. May I be lifted up by Your grace to become what You are creating me to be.

Guide my spirit, O Lord, to walk humbly in Your presence knowing that in You is the hope of glory and the way of eternal life. Help me to rejoice in all that You have made, not worshiping the things created, but You the Creator of all things. Guide me to live a life of worship knowing that in You is the hope of glory and the way of everlasting life. May I praise You always for Your goodness. Amen.
