Music: Sing the Psalmsনমুনা

Day 3 - Fountain of Life

Psalm 36 - I love this Psalm. Or better yet, I love my amazing Father, my Papa. This Psalm is a tribute to His love. Many things stood out to me in this Psalm, but the verse 'You care for people and animals alike, O Lord' (Ps 36:6 NLT) gets to me every time.

I'm a huge nature and animal lover. I think if we took the time every once in a while to let nature fascinate us, we would get a better idea of God's goodness. You know, we THINK we know how good this God of ours is, how loving and kind, but I believe we only know a fraction of what He's really like. Sometimes when I'm still and out in nature I can almost hear Him whisper through the wind, "I love you."

You know, this might sound a bit silly, but around the time I became a believer I was given a cat. His name is Moppie ;) He became my best buddy, and he taught me so much about God. I see God's kindness in him, His generosity, His joy while He was creating him. The lack of pride, the unconditional love, the loyalty, the trust, the list goes on. Paul says in Romans 1:20 that we 'could know God by looking at creation'.

We are responsible for His creation, people and animals alike. Let's take good care of each other and in doing so honour this amazing God of ours!

Psalm 36 – Fountain of Life

5. Your unfailing love, O Lord,
is as vast as the heavens;
Your faithfulness reaches beyond the clouds.

6. Your righteousness is
like the mighty mountains,
Your justice like the ocean depths.

You care for people and animals alike, O Lord.

7. How precious is Your unfailing love, O God!
I find shelter in the shadow of Your wings.

8. You feed me from the abundance of Your own house,
letting me drink from Your river of delights.

9 For You are the fountain of life,
the light by which I see.

10. Pour out Your unfailing love on those who love You.
