Sunday Psalm Look Up And Learn

Sunday October 3, 2021
 

Praise the Lord.  Praise the Lord from the heavens.  Praise him in the heavens above.  Praise him, all his angels.  Praise him, all his angels in heaven.  Praise him, sun and moon.  Praise him, all you shining stars.  Praise him, you highest heavens.  Praise him, you waters above the skies.  Let all of them praise the name of the Lord, because at his command they were created.  He established them for ever and ever.  He gave them laws they will always have to obey.  (Psalm 148:1-6 NIRV)

The person who wrote this Psalm was so amazed by all that he saw in the heavens above that he called out for everything to praise the Lord.  Why should the heavens praise the Lord?  The Psalmist says because they were created at God’s command and are established forever.  Another incredible thing is that God gave them laws to follow which they will always obey.  The earth orbits the sun, and the moon reflects the light of the sun.  The stars light up the heavens. 

The Bible indicates that there are three heavens and God resides in the highest one from where He rules over the heavens and the earth.  Humans reside on earth surrounded by the atmospheric heaven.  When humans send rockets and probes into space they move around in the stellar heaven.  The elements in the heavens obey God’s laws and therefore we humans, animals, and fish are able to survive in the earth’s atmosphere.  

I know a man in Christ who was taken up to the third heaven. This happened 14 years ago. I don’t know if the man was in his body or out of his body, but God knows.  (2 Corinthians 12:2 ERV)

God in His wisdom gave us a book containing His laws for life. It is called the Bible.  He also put within humankind a moral code to live by.  Can’t we assume that if we obey God’s laws our lives will be much better than if we try to manage things on our own?  Who knows best, the creator or the created?

Prayer:  Loving God, You really are an amazing creator.  Help me to be obedient to Your laws and live life to the full as You intended.  Amen
