bread or singing a classic hymn are meant to awaken our hearts to god's glory reminding us that

all of creation is designed to point us to the Creator and invite us to join its

song of praise.

Here's this week's Wednesday's Word.

I am deeply persuaded that God created human beings to sing so that we could join in with the

ongoing chorus of creation that sings to His glory. I just love the verses that describe

creation singing to the glory of God. See Psalm 65, 96, 98, 148, Isaiah 44, 49, 55, etc. So one of my all-time favorite classic Hymns of the Faith that communicates this same theology is all creatures of our God and King.

Verse 1, All creatures of our God and King, lift up your voice and with us sing.

Alleluia, alleluia.

Thou burning sun with golden beam, thou silver moon with softer gleam.

O praise him, oh praise him, alleluia, alleluia, allelujah. Quote, praise him, praise him, all you shining

stars, end quote. Psalm 148, verse 3. this Psalm and hymn point to the absolute power and

magnificence of God, who alone can create the galaxies, they also remind us of his tender love.

Our creator of infinite might has such a gentle heart towards those he's made in his image.

I know you can admit to this, I'm so easily distracted, so easily forgetful, and so often blind to the glory and existence of the creator of the universe.
