All right, all right, join the Journey family, friends, and guests. You're listening to Join the Journey

podcast with your host, Emma, daughter. Thanks for joining. Today, we are reading Psalm 104, and I am back

in the podcast studio with Eddie Perez. Hi, thank you for having me. Eddie, good to have you back.

It's been a while. It has. It's been

about a year. Last time you were here, you shared a little bit of your story. So we'll put that link

in the episode description. I know you serve with the porch, our young adult ministry here at

Watermark. And so I'd ask you, hey, what do you see God doing at the porch? I just got back from a launch event over Labor

Day weekend, and so that was really great to just get to see what God is doing, not just at the

porch, but on the broader context across the U.S. of just young adults coming and serving the Lord

together. And once again, like tying this all back into what we're going to be covering Psalms 1 of

words, like worshiping creation as a whole as a people of God.

Awesome.

Why did you start serving with the porch?

More so because it was a challenge to myself and to my faith of using the skills and gifts

to the spirit that the Lord had given me that I was not using at all.

And so I was just kind of like, I was kind of being Jonah. I was running away from the things

that I knew I should be doing. Nice. And how long have you been serving now? Three years now.

Not nice that you were running away. Nice that the Lord brought you and you're back and you've been in

for three years. I love it. Well, I am excited for you to share with us from Psalm 104. Would you just maybe set up this Psalm and

give us a little brief overview? Yes. And so in this, we see David just giving an account of

creation, and I think it ties all back to Genesis in the account of creation. And so we see him just tying all of creation and the glory that is displayed through creation

and the providence back to God.
