Psalm 104The psalmist analyzes how the earth works together like a precision machine to sustain itself – or not. He assumes that there is an unmoved mover, an uncreated creator. He sees intelligent design in the ecosystem, and it is cause for praise. He does not see the analysis of the system to be a reason to reject God. In fact, his awareness of the remarkable way that God provides for his creation is a reason for a relationship with him. He calls for sinners (those who have rejected that relationship) to be consumed from the earth, for the wicked to be “no more” (35). The same LORD who uses death as part of his grand scheme to renew the earth (29) will also use the second death to rid his world of sin. It is all part of the design.
LORD, open our eyes to see the world as you see it.
