Psalm 104 (NLT)
1 Let all that I am praise the Lord.
O Lord my God, how great you are!
You are robed with honor and majesty.
2 You are dressed in a robe of light.
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;
3 you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.
You make the clouds your chariot;
you ride upon the wings of the wind.
4 The winds are your messengers;
flames of fire are your servants.[a]
You are robed with honor and majesty.
2 You are dressed in a robe of light.
You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens;
3 you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.
You make the clouds your chariot;
you ride upon the wings of the wind.
4 The winds are your messengers;
flames of fire are your servants.[a]
5 You placed the world on its foundation
so it would never be moved.
6 You clothed the earth with floods of water,
water that covered even the mountains.
7 At your command, the water fled;
at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.
8 Mountains rose and valleys sank
to the levels you decreed.
9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,
so they would never again cover the earth.
so it would never be moved.

8 Mountains rose and valleys sank

9 Then you set a firm boundary for the seas,
so they would never again cover the earth.
10 You make springs pour water into the ravines,
so streams gush down from the mountains.
11 They provide water for all the animals,
and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 The birds nest beside the streams
and sing among the branches of the trees.
13 You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home,
and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.
so streams gush down from the mountains.

My daughter and her fiance' have been with us for eight days. Together, they are constantly celebrating something! They celebrate what they eat, the places they go, the decisions they make, and much more. Words of affirmation pour from their lips. "I like how you did that," he will say and of course, she eats it up! "Look what you did! I'm so proud of you!" she has said over and over to him. On vacation, they wore "Just Engaged!" buttons and for four days, they were showered with congratulations...more celebrating...which they love! It occurred to me as I watched them that I should be more like that in my relationship with my Lord. I should make much of Him at every opportunity. "I like how you did that," I could say or "Look what you did!" I will never run short of words of praise to speak to Him. He is worthy of unending praise and adoration. I get busy and fail to acknowledge all He has done. Do you? Will you join me in celebrating Him today? Like the Psalmist, let us marvel at the magnificence of our God!
