Praise the LORD from the heavens;
praise him in the heights!
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his host!
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all you shining stars!
Praise him, you highest heavens,
and you waters above the heavens!
Psaklm 148:1-4
Can you hear it?
All creation is praising God!
From angelic host preparing for opening night
to geese honking their way south;
from a grandmother singing as she puts sprinkles on sugar cookies,
to a newborn gurgling in joy at the lights onthe tree:
all creation is praise God!
From kittens sleeping in the winter sun
to lions and tigers growling at the zoo's festive lights;
from rivers groaning as ice forms on their skin,
to pine trees cracking in the frozen dawn:
all creation is praising God!
From the singing stars in distant galaxies,
to carolers huddling around wind-whipped candles;
from wooly-woolies crawling in silence
to the powerless crying for hope:
all creation is praising God!
Can you hear it?
