Preparation Day: 148

Praise God from earth,
you sea dragons, you fathomless ocean deeps;
Fire and hail, snow and ice,
hurricanes obeying his orders;
Mountains and all hills,
apple orchards and cedar forests;
Wild beasts and herds of cattle,
snakes, and birds in flight;
Earth’s kings and all races,
leaders and important people,
Robust men and women in their prime,
and yes, graybeards and little children.

Let them praise the name of God—
it’s the only Name worth praising.
His radiance exceeds anything in earth and sky;
he’s built a monument—his very own people!

Praise from all who love God!
Israel’s children, intimate friends of God.
Hallelujah!

(words of the psalmist from #148, The Message)

  1. And again this week, God led us to the same chapter in the Bible! So interesting!! Praise Him, the only Name worth praising.

  2. God’s blessing to you Lyla this Sunday as you continue to bless us. I will be flying past you (sort of) on Monday morning on the way home from Salt Lake City. I will wave and think of you, my fine friend. If the weather delays my flight, I’ll hitch a ride to your door step. fyi.

  3. Intimate friend of God. I don’t know if I think of myself that way. Good thing it doesn’t matter what I think. It just is, because He said so.

    (Love the popsicle. Why were you in a ditch?)

  7. I just love when you get down in the ditch! This looks like a frosted cattail. And how that snow sparkles!

  8. It is the only name worthy of praise!
    What an amazing picture Lyla. There is beauty even in the most uncomfortable of places.
