Creation Worships




































John 1:1-3 "In the beginning [before all time] was the Word (Jesus Christ), and the Word was with God, and the Word was God Himself.  He was with God in the beginning.  All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being."

John 1:10-14 says "He was in the world, and though the world was made through Him, the world did not recognize Him.  Jesus (The Word) came to that which was His own (creation), but His own (humanity/me) did not receive Him.  Yet, if I receive or take what is offered by Him and believe/trust in Him, He gives me the right to become His child."  Then I can really see Him and His Glory through His indwelling Spirit.  The blinders are off and I can understand His grace and truth. (see I Corinthians 2:12)  He is Grace...He is Truth!

Human Nature is the only part of all nature that refuses to worship God.  The stones cry out (Luke 19:40); the heavens declare His glory (Psalm 19:1);  the trees of the field clap their hands;  the mountains and hills burst into song (Isaiah 55:12b);  the rivers clap their hands (Psalm 98:8);  the grasslands, hills, meadows, and valleys shout for joy and sing (Psalm 65:12).  Why don't we/humans naturally do that?  What or who do I worship?  The only way I can worship God, as God intended, is to become His child...adopted by Him!


"Let Everything That Has Breath"
Lyrics by Matt Redman

Let everything that, 
everything that 
Everything that 
has breath praise the Lord

Let everything that, 
everything that 
Everything that 
has breath praise the Lord

Praise You in the morning 
Praise You in the evening 
Praise You when I'm young 
and when I'm old

Praise You when I'm laughing 
Praise You when I'm grieving 
Praise You every 
season of the soul

If we could see 
how much You're worth 
Your power, 
Your might, 
Your endless love 
Then surely we would 
never cease to praise

Praise You in the heavens 
Join with the angels 
Praising You forever and a day

Praise You on the earth now 
Join with creation 
Calling all the nations to Your praise

If they could see 
how much You're worth 
Your power, 
Your might, 
Your endless love 
Then surely they would 
never cease to praise

I will worship, 
I will worship 
I will worship 
You with every breath

I will worship, 
I will worship 
I will worship 
You with every breath
