Joy in the Air

Read Psalm 65:5-13

Context: This psalm was written by David as a song.

Text:
5 You answer us in amazing ways,
God our Savior.
People everywhere on the earth
and beyond the sea trust you.
6 You made the mountains by your strength;
you are dressed in power.
7 You stopped the roaring seas,
the roaring waves,
and the uproar of the nations.
8 Even those people at the ends of the earth fear your miracles.
You are praised from where the sun rises to where it sets.

9 You take care of the land and water it;
you make it very fertile.
The rivers of God are full of water.
Grain grows because you make it grow.
10 You send rain to the plowed fields;
you fill the rows with water.
You soften the ground with rain,
and then you bless it with crops.
11 You give the year a good harvest,
and you load the wagons with many crops.
12 The desert is covered with grass
and the hills with happiness.
13 The pastures are full of flocks,
and the valleys are covered with grain.
Everything shouts and sings for joy. (New Century Version)

Have you gone outside yet this morning? It's easy to believe the plants are singing for joy, and the bugs and birds are shouting their praise. It's a great day to throw open the windows and let some cool, fresh air into the house. The weather has been hot and humid for so long that our spirits can't help but be lifted up by the cool morning air.

Praise God for all you see today. I'll see you on Sunday when Steve teaches us about the joy of Jesus. Enjoy your holiday weekend!
