Psalm 65: God the Creator

Today’s reading is Psalm 65.

Our week of thanksgiving and praise continues. God is the Redeemer. More than that, in Psalm 65:5-8, God is Creator.

God is the hope of the ends of the earth. Why? Because He created the ends of the earth. He established the mountains. He stilled the seas. In the beginning, at the flood, and at any time He wants, God brings the chaotic waters under control. More than that, His creative and sustaining power goes beyond the world of nature. Just as God brings the chaotic waters under control, He brings the chaotic peoples and nations under control. The Creator can do that.

When the people throughout the ends of the earth pay attention, they will be in awe. Those who see the sun going out in the morning and coming in at evening, recognizing the hand of God behind it, shout for joy. The world and the universe with their order shout design. They praise the Designer. They declare a Creator.

Of course, it is this creative power giving us the hope for His redeeming power. Whoever could create so magnificently can provide us with righteousness and salvation. He is in charge. He is in charge of the natural. He is in charge of the spiritual.

Shout for joy. Offer praise and thanksgiving to God who created us and redeems His creation. Praise the Lord!

Tomorrow’s reading is Psalm 65.
