So Blessed! Grateful for the Breath of Life
While the psalmist did not follow strictly the creation order of Genesis 1, he certainly had the Creation scene in his mind when he wrote this psalm. We see the psalmist mention the various aspects of creation: light v2, separation of the waters v2-4, separation of land & water and provision of water v5-13, provision of vegetation v14-17, the sun & moon v19-23, land & sea creatures v18, 24-26.
The created awaits the Creator to sustain them. “These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time.” Psalm 104:27 Whether it is through food or the breath of life v27-30, God sustains His creation. The psalmist ends off by saying that he can sing & praise the Lord as long as he is alive v31-35. “I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD.” Psalm 104:33-34
Application:
The Lord has blessed us with much physically: life, breath, health, food, a liveable and comfortable environment. Take time to bless the Lord for blessing you with so much! Oftentimes we take all our physical blessings for granted. Today, take time to thank God for your parents, the roof over your head, school, teachers, classmates, leaders, the clothes you have, the shoes you have and so on. If Nick Vujicic could bless the Lord even though he has been born without limbs, most of us here with limbs should have more to be thankful & less to complain about in our lives.
