I have been walking in the early morning before the heat cooks the air. This last week there have been fireworks almost around the clock as people have practiced getting ready for the 4th of July...added to that the construction with its beeps, rumbles, ....the the birds singing, traffic, sirens,...but the early morning after the 4th was quiet...everyone must have been sleeping in..it was extraordinarily quiet as I walked...
The verse...Psalm 46:10 He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” Hung in the air around me.....the quietness like a cloak in the early morning air...
And still I know there really is not total quietness...the universe and ALL that is in it sing praises to the Creator...there are sounds in space, songs of birds, whales, trees, water...rhythms we can hear with our human ears and rhythms only heard with instruments that sing praise...
Psalm 148:1-14 Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights above.
Praise him, all his angels;praise him, all his heavenly hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon;praise him, all you shining stars.
Praise him, you highest heavens and you waters above the skies. Let them praise the name of the Lord,for at his command they were created, and he established them for ever and ever—he issued a decree that will never pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,you great sea creatures and all ocean depths, lightning and hail, snow and clouds, stormy winds that do his bidding, you mountains and all hills, fruit trees and all cedars, wild animals and all cattle,small creatures and flying birds, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and women,old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens. And he has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his faithful servants,of Israel, the people close to his heart.
Praise the Lord.
Thank YOU for the quietness of soul, and the praise of ALL...You alone are worthy of galactic praise....
Pulsar sounds, sounds in space...
