In Psalm 104, David lists some of the incredible things God has created. His creative power is great, and Paul writes in Romans that this amazing creation shows God’s “invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature” for all to see.
David describes God as clothed with “splendor and majesty”, as if the heavens were His tent, the clouds His chariot, riding on the wings of the wind. God, in His wisdom, established the foundations of the earth, covering it with water and mountains like a garment. He initiated the springs and made the grass that water and feed the animals. He set the moon to establish seasons, balanced day and night, filled the earth and the water with creatures.
The writer of the Hebrews refers to this Psalm, giving us confidence in God’s power to enact His plan of salvation. Truly God is “very great”, and we should follow David’s example of singing praise to God, meditating and rejoicing in God.
