May all who have breath praise the Lord.

"The Lord merely spoke, and the heavens were created.

He breathed the word, and all the stars were born.

He gave the sea its boundaries

and locked the oceans in vast reservoirs.

Let everyone in the world fear the Lord,

and let everyone stand in awe of him.

For when he spoke, the world began!

It appeared at his command."

-Psalm 33

This isn't science fiction. This is the living, breathing truth. God lives, and he is active and present.

But not only did he speak the world into existence, he did the same for man. We are his: created, formed, and loved. However, unlike an artist who creates a painting to admire or to gain monetary gain, the Lord artfully created us so that we could be in relationship with him.

God Almighty is the potter who wants his pots to turn around and be different because of who he is and because of what he has given them. He desires his pots to live in light of the potter's sacrifice and the potter's beauty, to not let a day go by without praising the good things the potter has done in them and throughout the whole world.

If we fail to praise him, the rocks will cry out. He deserves our praise, glory, and adoration that much. He deserves and longs to be glorified in every nation. He created mankind for relationship and so that we could turn around and praise him.

Praise the Lord!
