March 17

Let the glory of the Lord endure forever; let the Lord be glad in His works; He looks at the earth, and it trembles; He touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being. Let my meditation be pleasing to Him; as for me, I shall be glad in the Lord. Psalms 104:31-34.

It goes without saying, that the Lord is glad about what He has created. Yes, it is damaged by man’s fall, but when we turn back to Him there is unlimited opportunity on His part to offer us His grace. I have no doubt that the earth can tremble under the gaze of God. He created it, and He can control it.

Is your heart a source of song to the Lord? Some of my most cherished moments occur when I can “let loose” with bursts of song to Him. Oh, I know that I really can’t sing like some others I know, but God doesn’t care. He is looking at my heart and not grading the quality of my voice. I am learning to meditate upon Him too—it seems there is plenty to think about as I wonder what He is about each day. Am I hearing Him? Am I willing to obey?

Father, let me be a voice in Your creation that continually speaks with gladness. There should be no room in my conversation for anything negative concerning my brothers or sisters in Christ. They are serving You in response to what they have been shown. I can do no better. Let songs of praise spring from my heart. Together we can change the world. I trust You as creator to prepare my way. Amen.
