Sunday of the Flood (Ps)

Psalm 104:1-15
Bless the Lord, O my soul!
O Lord my God, you are very great!
You are clothed with splendor and majesty,
2 covering yourself with light as with a garment,
stretching out the heavens like a tent.
3 He lays the beams of his chambers on the waters;
he makes the clouds his chariot;
he rides on the wings of the wind;
4 he makes his messengers winds,
his ministers a flaming fire.
5 He set the earth on its foundations,
so that it should never be moved.
6 You covered it with the deep as with a garment;
the waters stood above the mountains.
7 At your rebuke they fled;
at the sound of your thunder they took to flight.
8 The mountains rose, the valleys sank down
to the place that you appointed for them.
9 You set a boundary that they may not pass,
so that they might not again cover the earth.
10 You make springs gush forth in the valleys;
they flow between the hills;
11 they give drink to every beast of the field;
the wild donkeys quench their thirst.
12 Beside them the birds of the heavens dwell;
they sing among the branches.
13 From your lofty abode you water the mountains;
the earth is satisfied with the fruit of your work.
14 You cause the grass to grow for the livestock
and plants for man to cultivate,
that he may bring forth food from the earth
15 and wine to gladden the heart of man,
oil to make his face shine
and bread to strengthen man’s heart.

Our God has made the water gush forth from beneath the ground. God is the one who formed every Valley and Hill. God is the one who set the boarders for the Oceans and the seas.

Humanity often time likes to think we know a lot about the world's oceans, but are continually proved wrong. We like to think we can determine the age of the earth by rock layers, but we were not there when they were laid. These layers remind us how great our God really is.

But when we listen to the word of God, we hear that we are sinful and unclean. But God has washed his creation clean. He cloths the earth with grass and trees, but those are just highlights for the blue dress of the earth. God has blessed us with the forgiveness of our sins. He brings us through death into life.
