- For all the gods of the peoples are worthless idols, but the Lord made the heavens. Psalms 96:5 – All the things that people can place as gods in their life have no substance and can offer nothing to those who follow them. Jesus, the one true God, is the creator of all substance and has breathed life into everything that exists. All that has been created is here because of Jesus. Why then set your heart after something that can’t offer you what you really need? Why devote your life to something that has no substance when the creator of the heavens is here? Each day let’s make sure we are choosing Jesus to follow. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 1159
- 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. Psalm 96:11-13 – The heavens are going to show their gladness for the presence of the Lord. The earth is going to be heard about its joy for the presence of the Lord. The seas are going to roar and crash as their way of showing they are desiring the presence of the Lord. The fields are going to praise the presence of the Lord. Even every tree in the vast forests all sing for joy when the Lord comes. How about you? All of creation is lifting up their voices and sounds how they can to welcome the coming and presence of the Lord. Will your voice be a part of the sound? Not just someday in the future either, how about today wherever you are at? Maybe your voice isn’t yelling out, but by your life today and the plans you had made for the day, could Jesus see in your life a gladness for His presence in it? Maybe your day is like mine and needs some re-adjusting after reading a passage like this. Let’s today seek to join our voices into the chorus of creation that’s worshiping the coming and presence of our God. I love you, but Jesus loves you more – Mac – Daily DEVO 2056
