Let everything that has breath...

"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord"  -Psalm 150:6

     I woke up this morning and outside my window as the sky started to turn gold I heard a crow calling...and calling...and calling. It continued for some time. I would stop paying attention and then become aware again that it was still going. It made me think of this Psalm.

"Let everything that has breath..."

     I like the thought that when you hear birds, crickets, tree frogs, cicadas...each chorus is joining together in the choir of the breathing in praise of our Creator-Lord. It was good to pause for a minute and watch the sun emerge from behind the trees and join with the crow outside in a moment of praise.

Psalm 150

Praise the Lord!

Praise God in his sanctuary;

    praise him in his mighty heavens!

 

Praise him for his mighty deeds;

    praise him according to his excellent greatness!

Praise him with trumpet sound;

    praise him with lute and harp!

Praise him with tambourine and dance;

    praise him with strings and pipe!

 

Praise him with sounding cymbals;

    praise him with loud clashing cymbals!

 

Let everything that has breath praise the Lord!

Praise the Lord!
