WEEK 31: Worship as creation does.

Do you know creation worships God? Remember the Palm Sunday story when Jesus was riding a colt into Jerusalem? Luke records the event in Luke 19:36-40: “And as he rode along, they spread their cloaks on the road. ³⁷As he was drawing near—already on the way down the Mount of Olives—the whole multitude of his disciples began to rejoice and praise God with a loud voice for all the mighty works that they had seen, saying, “Blessed is the King who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven and glory in the highest!” ³⁹And some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, rebuke your disciples.” ⁴⁰He answered, ‘I tell you, if these were silent, the very stones would cry out.’”

Have you ever been told to be quiet during worship? I know I could not worship God with loud praises in the Lutheran Church I attended as a child. Remember, praise to God is about rejoicing for the great things He has done. See my post, Worship is Rejoicing. Jesus said that the stones would cry out. Do you think this is a figure of speech, or do you think it could be literal?

How do you think King David knew that creation praised God? He writes in Psalm 96:11-13 “Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let the sea roar, and all that fills it; let the field exult, and everything in it! Then shall all the trees of the forest sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes, for he comes to judge the earth. He will judge the world in righteousness, and the peoples in his faithfulness.” He also wrote in Psalm 148:3, “Praise Him, sun and moon; Praise Him, all stars of light!”

We think of creation as being physical objects, not living organisms. Yet, everything created is made up of atoms that have an electrical frequency. I looked up the frequency of a tree; you will be surprised when you read this linked article to learn more. All physical objects emit frequencies, and I believe these frequencies give God glory (read my post called WEEK 27: Worship is giving God glory.

This week, as you worship, remember that all creation worships God to. May God bless you and may His face fine on you.
