Psalm 148:1-6
The things in
nature do not quibble about God’s laws.
They simply live and act them out in quiet obedience. They don’t change them or deem them out of
date and now unnecessary. They don’t
open them up to debate or assume they require reinterpretation to conform to
cultural demands. The laws of God are the fiber of their being and their
action. They simply live and grow and
act as they were created to live, grow, and act. They live, breathe, and have their being in
the kingdom of God with no desire to be anywhere else
or to look to anyone else except the One who created them. That is the desire of my heart.
God formed me, my
inner most being, with His hands, like a potter forms the clay. He knit every fiber of my being together in
secret; He knows all about me, even more than I know myself. Nothing is hidden from Him. How can I do anything other than be and do as
He created me to be and do?
In the sanctity of
His Presence I have all I need. In the
sanctity of His Presence I am truly free to be me. In the sanctity of His Presence I can live
out my days and my ways. In the sanctity
of His Presence I am fully known to Him, shaped by Him, and loved by Him. I, with the rest of nature, do not quibble
about God’s laws. They make me all that
I can be and guide all that I can do.
