Psalms of Ascent
Wonder At God's Creation
Psalm 104 is a song of praise that marvels at the beauty and order of God’s creation. From mountains to seas, seasons to creatures great and small, it reveals a world sustained by His power and care. This psalm invites us to stand in awe, give thanks, and consider our role as stewards of His handiwork. As we reflect, we’ll explore how creation points us to God’s character, draws us closer to Him, and shapes the way we live in His world.
