sing to the sky maker

Psalm 96:1-6 (JDV)

Psalm 96:1 Sing a new song to Yahveh; let the whole land sing to Yahveh.
Psalm 96:2 Sing to Yahveh, bless his name; proclaim his deliverance from day to day.
Psalm 96:3 Declare his fame among the nations, his wonderful things among all peoples.
Psalm 96:4 Yes, Yahveh is great and is highly praised; he is feared above all gods.
Psalm 96:5 Yes, all the gods of the peoples are idols, but Yahveh made the sky.
Psalm 96:6 Splendor and majesty are before him; strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.

sing to the sky maker

As I write this, I am looking out over a huge corn field, covered with a beautiful blue sky. At night, the sunsets turn the sky bright orange and pink, and gray. It is a spectacular show every night, free of charge.

We take the sky for granted because it is. It is a sign from God granted to us so that we will always have reason to sing. Why waste our time on the gods of the peoples? They are just empty idols. Yahveh made the sky. Yahveh brought us deliverance through the Son, Jesus. So while we are singing, we should think up new ways to proclaim that deliverance from day to day.

Thank you, sky maker.
