The song of creation

Joy Anne Reges

What song are you singing today? Is it a song of despair? A song of loneliness? A song of sorrow? Or is it a song like this one from Psalms: "It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High: to shew forth thy lovingkindness in the morning, and thy faithfulness every night.... For thou, Lord, hast made me glad through thy work: I will triumph in the works of thy hands" (92:1, 2, 4).

The song of praise is the song that rejoices in the truth stated in the first chapter of Genesis, where God's creation is established and it is very good. This is the song that glorifies God and His omnipotence. We might call this the song of creation.
