God: Our Creator, Our Provider

First, I must apologize to you, my faithful readers.  I have been dealing with a lot.  I know that is no excuse not to share God's Word.  But God has opened a door for me that I never imagined would even be possible, He has allowed me to open my own crochet business.  My business is where I make items like afghans, throws, baby blankets, hats, scarves and even Christmas stockings along with many more items to sell.  You can check it out at facebook.com/FleurDeLisCrochet. This allows me to make an income and be able to do something I love and be home with my two sweet, adorable little boys.  In a word, the perfect job for me.  I feel truly blessed.  God is AWESOME. He always provides.
     This is where our reading takes us today. Our reading comes from Psalm 104: 1-15.
Let all that I am praise the LORD.  O LORD my God, how great you are!  You are robed with honor and majesty.  You are dressed in a robe of light.  You stretch out the starry curtain of the heavens; you lay out the rafters of your home in the rain clouds.  You make the clouds your chariot; you ride upon the wings of the wind.  The winds are your messengers; flames of fire are your servants.  You placed the world on its foundation so it would never be moved.  You clothed the earth with floods of water, water that covered even the mountains.  At your command, the water fled; at the sound of your thunder, it hurried away.  Mountains rose and valleys sank to the levels you decreed.  Then you set a firm boundary for the seas, so they would never again cover the earth.  You make springs pour water into the ravines, so streams gush down from the mountains.  They provide water for all the animals, and the wild donkeys quench their thirst.  The birds nest beside the streams and sing among the branches of the trees.  You send rain on the mountains from your heavenly home, and you fill the earth with the fruit of your labor.  You cause grass to grow from the livestock and plants for people to use.  You allow them to produce food from the earth--wine to make them glad, olive oil to soothe their skin, and bread to give them strength.
     These verses tell of how God formed the earth and made his home in the heavens as well as provided for all the creatures and people of the earth.  It is a reminder that God created us, so He will never abandon us and will always be sure to provide for us.  Praise God!!  Have a blessed day my friends!
