Some mornings it's comical... but some mornings it's very very annoying!!!!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Not long ago a fragment of scripture popped into my head.... something about the trees of the field clapping their hands. What a great word picture!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Can you see the wind blowing through the trees making them "clap". </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Although this verse is taken out of context I love to think that all the earth is singing a song of great worship to the LORD! Yes, even my mockingbird friend!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">SING TO THE LORD ALL THE EARTH</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">SING TO THE LORD, BLESS HIS NAME;</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">PROCLAIM GOOD TIDINGS OF HIS SALVATION FROM DAY TO DAY...</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LET THE HEAVEN'S BE GLAD AND THE EARTH REJOICE</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LET THE SEAS ROAR AND ALL IT CONTAINS</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">LET THE FIELDS EXULT AND ALL THAT IS IN IT</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">THEN ALL OF THE TREES OF THE FOREST WILL SHOUT FOR JOY</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">BEFORE THE LORD, FOR HE IS COMING</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Psalm 96:1,2, 11-13</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">All the earth in it's own way knows and gives glory to the Lord! Nature know it's Creator... and in a great and wonderful act of corporate worship does exactly what it was created to do...it shows who HE is. Now that is a great act of worship, indeed!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Even my noisy little mockingbird is singing with all that is within him and doing his little birdie things... just like God created him to do... and it pleases and is a great worship to the Author of the Universe! He  sings each morning for only God to hear!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Nature cannot wait for the  Lord to come back. Even it knows the mess this world is in and waits with immense anticipation for Jesus' return.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">But here is a startling thing... God's most prized creation does not necessarily feel that way! Unlike the rest of creation, it praises itself and acts independently of it's wonderful Creator.  It's songs and deeds are self driven and much of it is an abomination to the Lord! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">We were made to have the most intimate relationship with the very God of ALL! Our being and living was created to be a great praise to the Lord... just like the rest of the created world.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This morning I got up and took a lesson from my little birdie friend... I started my day with my own song to the Lord. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">THIS IS THE DAY THE LORD HAS MADE, LET US REJOICE AND BE GLAD</div><div style="text-align: center;">Psalm: 118:24</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Let's all join creation and praise our Maker and worship Him!!! Let's live IN HIM the way we were created to be!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div></div><div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="javascript:void((function(){var%20e=document.createElement('script');e.setAttribute('type','text/javascript');e.setAttribute('charset','UTF-8');e.setAttribute('src','http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinmarklet.js?r='+Math.random()*99999999);document.body.appendChild(e)})());"><img alt="Pin It" class="aligncenter" src="http://www.clickinmoms.com/cmprodaily/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/pinit.jpg" /></a></div></div> </div>

SUNDAY SCRIPTURE JUNE 2, 2013
