Nature is his servant.



Psalm 104:1–4

Praise the Lord, my soul.

Lord my God, you are very great;
you are clothed with splendor and majesty.

The Lord wraps himself in light as with a garment; — he stretches out the heavens like a tent and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters.

He makes the clouds his chariot
and rides on the wings of the wind.
He makes winds his messengers,
flames of fire his servants.

A camping trip will teach you how powerless you are compared to the elements: wind blows out your weak fire, sunlight wakes you up early, and rain ruins the day.

The forces that overpower you are God's servants.

He creates and holds the light. He sits in power over wind and rain.

The God who holds that power is reigning for you. And he won't loosen his grip on this world until he brings you home.

What forces of nature are most awe-inspiring to you? What do you realize about God when you remember he controls them?
