Psalm 104: 24-27 (NIV-UK)

24 How many are your works, Lord!
    In wisdom you made them all;
    the earth is full of your creatures.
25 There is the sea, vast and spacious,
    teeming with creatures beyond number –
    living things both large and small.
26 There the ships go to and fro,
    and Leviathan, which you formed to frolic there.

27 All creatures look to you
    to give them their food at the proper time.

How many animals and birds and fish has God created? Even if you tried to count them all you would miss some. Then you could count how many of each species, but… only God knows. We will never be able to grasp the vastness of God’s creation in the universe. Yet God knows every living creature by name. Not only that but he knows the needs of each one individually.

Some need to be warm, some cold…

Some need much food, others little…

Some live high, some live low…

And God cares and loves and provides for them all.

A universe created with enough for all at the right time, in the right place.

God simply wants us to live as one with nature; tend… love… grow. His plan does not need changing, just respect… cherishing… protection… and simply being able to let go… ultimately trusting in the awesomeness of the Lord.

Prayer:

Lord God, as climate change rages, as fires and flooding ravage the land, help us to play our part in protecting your creation and to trust in you more

Knowing that all will be well.

Amen.
