Day 184: Psalms 104:1 - 106:15

I like how chapter 106 paints a picture of God as not only the creator, but also as the one who sustains life here in earth. It's pretty easy to look at things in light of the fact that God gave man dominion over the earth and so that would mean that everything on earth including the very life that moves and drives everything is the sole responsibility of man. Although I do believe whole-heartedly that it's every man's decision what to do with his own life and the lives of those around him, the Bible shows us time and time again that God is the only one true sustainer of life. The very fact that God is alive and that he wants His children on this earth to do His work is what keeps us alive. This chapter makes mention of the fact that if God were to turn His back or allow His Spirit to move somewhere else, everything we know would fall apart instantly. God didn't just create life and then leave it alone, He is life and without Him, there would be nothing.

- Lord, as difficult as it may sometimes be to grasp hold of such deep concepts, thank You for giving us a deeper revelation of Who You are and the fact that without You, not only would have nothing to do, but we would be nothing at all. You are the maker and sustainer of life and I will forever worship You. -
