July 19, 2023 -- Psalm 33:6-9 -- The Psalm Series: The Fear of the LORD and the Creator's touch

People loved by the Father, in the Spirit's power: Sh'ma ~ hear and obey Jesus!

By the word of the LORD the heavens were made,
and by the breath of his mouth all their host.
He gathers the waters of the sea as a heap;
he puts the deeps in storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the LORD;
let all the inhabitants of the world
stand in awe of Him!
For He spoke, and it came to be;
He commanded, and it stood firm.
Psalm 33:6-9 ESV

This morning I’m traveling back from Ontario to NB. I took the Go Train from Hamilton to Union Station. After arriving at Union I had more than 3 hours before my flight would leave from Billy Bishop Airport, so I thought I’d walk the 2.5km to get there. Amid all the buildings and concrete, construction and traffic, there are wonderful signs of God’s creation. There are birds picking up seeds. Quick pigeons weaving in and out of traffic, landing, picking up a tidbit and then jumping into flight. Along the waterfront some gardens have been planted and the green space is doubly appreciated, like an oasis in the city. Truly God’s creation is magnificent. Plants, green-leaved boasting multi-colored flowers, flourish in the summer sunshine. Those who notice such things notice the touch of the Creator.

The LORD Who made the heavens also crafted the beauty of the earth. He most perfectly revealed His glory in Jesus Christ, the Living Word, Who always declares the nearness of God. All the inhabitants of the earth are called to stand in awe of Him! Those who delight in Him now, will find their delight increasing through-out all eternity. Those who refuse Him now, will fear Him through all eternity. It will be a terror in hell, to realize through-out endless ages what a scandal it was to refuse Him while alive on earth.

Our Father in heaven hallowed be Your Name! With the righteous we shout for joy in the LORD! We make melody to You, King of kings. Oh Jesus, Master, our souls wait for You; for You are the Help and Shield of Your people. Let Your steadfast love be upon us, O LORD, even as we continually put our hope in You. Amen.
