“I Know He Cares For Me”
When we look at the vastness of the power of God as demonstrated through His Creation, we are reminded of just how much he cares for us, the pinnacle of his work.
Some scholars think that Psalm 104 is a continuation fo Psalm 103, and that would make David its author.
If that’s true it’s easy to see David sitting tending his father’s sheep looking at God’s creation and describing the beautiful natural surroundings that was before him.
But whoever the author, his attention was definitely on God’s handiwork and he was in awe of the One who made it all.
This should lift our hearts to a new level of worship of our God!

His Dominion over...
A. The Establishment of The Earth
104:5
Who laid the foundations of the earth,
That it should not be removed for ever.
B. The Efficiency Over The Earth
104:6,7
Thou coveredst it with the deep as with a garment:
The waters stood above the mountains.
At thy rebuke they fled;
At the voice of thy thunder they hasted away.
Before the flood it is believed that a canopy of water covered the earth above the firmament.
This tempered the temperatures of the entire earth.
At the flood some believe this water fell for the first time causing the world wide flood.
God told the waters to recede and go into their locations that He assigned.
C. The Extremes of The Earth
104:8
They go up by the mountains; they go down by the valleys
Unto the place which thou has founded them.
Still speaking of the waters going to their places, this shows the extremes of his reach of power.
D. The Extent of The Earth
104:9
Thou has set a bound that they may not pass over;
That they turn not again to cover the earth.
God has restricted himself by His own promise.
A rainbow a symbol and reminder of that promise.
He will not destroy the earth by flood again.
Satan has influenced this world through false teachings and foolish ideas of man’s imaginations.
He has robbed God of the glory due to Him for his Creation!
More and more those who hold to God’s creation of the universe are being ridiculed.
We need to stand firm on the truth, pointing People to God through the greatness of His creation.
He reveals himself through His creation.
The beginning of faith is the recognition that the universe is made by a higher power.
Once man sees this, we can point them to the God of the Bible, who has revealed Himself in His Word.
We need to often take time to see the beauty of His creation around us!
