Psalms of Joy and Praise (Continued) - Psalms 75, 93, 94, 97, 98, 99, 100

Let the sea resound, and everything in it,

the world, and all who live in it.

Let the rivers clap their hands,

let the mountains sing together for joy;

let them sing before the Lord,

for He comes to judge the earth.

He will judge the world in righteousness

and the peoples with equity.

Psalms 98:7-9

It's a rainy day here in the 'boro. I look outside and the grass and trees are lush and wet and the rich green that marks the spring of the year. The earth is worshiping the Lord who made it. I need to get out in the worship soon. Lose myself in the orchestra of praise as I wander a path surrounded by spruce and fir, beech and birch, mountain laurel and azalea. To be surrounded in rich and radiant unvoiced worship by the world around me. To feel so small and so amazed that there is a God that's mindful of me.

I need to get out with God and in God soon. Lord knows.
