My Soul Wells Up With Hallelujahs!

(NIV) Psalm 104:24-24 "How many are your works, O LORD! In wisdom you made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. There is the sea, vast and spacious, teeming with creatures beyond number— living things both large and small. There the ships go to and fro, and the leviathan, which you formed to frolic there. These all look to you to give them their food at the proper time. When you give it to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are satisfied with good things. When you hide your face, they are terrified; when you take away their breath, they die and return to the dust. When you send your Spirit, they are created, and you renew the face of the earth. May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works- he who looks at the earth, and it trembles, who touches the mountains, and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD all my life; I will sing praise to my God as long as I live. May my meditation be pleasing to him, as I rejoice in the LORD." What a beautiful selection of verses for today! As I am typing this message, my ears can hear the constant, rhythmic pulse of the ocean waves as they crash to the shore. Within 30 minutes the sun will rise again in the east. As another day is quickly upon us, we have the choice of how we will spend our time today. The following song "Hallelujahs" written by Chris Rice contains words that are merely an echo of praise to God for his wondrous creation! "A purple sky to close the day I wade the surf where dolphins play The taste of salt, the dance of waves And my soul wells up with Hallelujahs A lightning flash, my pounding heart A breaching whale, a shooting star Give testimony that You are And my soul wells up with Hallelujahs Oh praise Him, all His mighty works There is no language where you can't be heard Your song goes out to all the earth Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Oh cratered moon and the sparrow's wings Oh thunder's boom and Saturn's rings Unveil our Father, as You sing And my soul wells up with Hallelujahs Oh praise Him, all His mighty works There is no language where you can't be heard Your song goes out to all the earth Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah The pulse of life within my wrist A fallen snow, a rising mist There is no higher praise than this And my soul wells up, oh my soul wells up Yes my soul wells up with Hallelujahs Oh praise Him, all His mighty works There is no language where you can't be heard Your song goes out to all the earth Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Oh Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah!" Dear Friend, take a few moments today to reflect upon God's beautiful creation. If you know the song, sing it as a praise offering to the God of our salvation. He loves us so very much, and has created a beautiful world for us to enjoy. We have everything we need if we will only trust Him. Can you say that your soul wells up with Hallelujahs? Dave Henry
