Praise Him from the skies!
Praise Him, all His angels! Praise Him, all
the armies of heaven!
Praise Him, sun and moon! Praise him, all
you twinkling stars!
Praise Him, skies above! Praise Him, vapors
high above the clouds!
Let every created thing give praise to the
LORD, for He issued His command, and they came into being. He set them in place
forever and ever. His decree will never be revoked.
Praise the LORD from the earth, you
creatures of the ocean depths, fire and hail, snow and clouds, wind and weather
that obey Him, mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild
animals and all livestock, small scurrying animals and birds, kings of the
earth and all people, rulers and judges of the earth, young men and young
women, old men and children.
Let them all praise the name of the LORD.
For His name is very great; His glory towers
over the earth and heaven! He has made His people strong, honoring His faithful
ones—the people of Israel who are close to Him.
Praise the LORD! Psalm 148:1-14

| Snowflakes |
Have you ever noticed how quietly snow
falls? Silence. Pure silence. Sure there will be neighborhood sounds—kids,
cars, trucks…then later snow plows. But generally listen early in the morning
or late in the evening. Silence. That is why years ago I decided that I liked
cross-country skiing better than down-hill skiing. The silence. No chatter of
other skiers or the sound of the lift motors. Just silence.
Rain has its pitter, patter. Wind, its
howl. But snow—silence. God created everything—even silence. There is no sound from
the stars, the sun or the moon. Just silence. Let us praise the Lord for His
creation…and for silence. Enjoy the winter…and the silence that the Lord has
created for us.
Prayer
~ Lord God, Your name is very great; Your glory towers over the earth and
heaven! You created miraculous weather. You have made Your people strong and
faithful. We praise Your holy name and claim Your wonderful promises. Thank You for Silence.
