Ordinary Days #24: Sunrises

May the Lord rejoice

    in his creation. (Psalm 104:31)

Jen’s been sending me pictures of her Cancun sunrises—a reminder of how we shared Majahua sunrises a few years back—always the first ones up. Her picture was accompanied only by this: “Psalm 104.” So I read it. It’s a hymn to God’s good and plentiful creation. Following six stanzas praising the wonders of God’s creation it ends the seventh and last stanza praying that God too will be pleased with his creation. Can God still rejoice in his creation?
