In Psalms one hundred four the Psalmist said of Jehovah God concerning the large aquatic animals, “You hide your face, they are troubled: you take away their breath, they die, and return to their dust”, and in chapter one hundred four and verse thirty of Psalms the Psalmist said, “you send for your spirit, they are created” where we read,
You send forth your spirit, they are created: and you renew the face of the earth.
The verse begins, “You send forth your spirit, they are created:” The Psalmist began with the words, “you send forth your spirit” or “you, Jehovah God, dispatch and assign your, Jehovah God's, wind, breath and mind”, “they are created” which means “they, the large aquatic animals, exist as shaped, formed, fashioned and made”. The Psalmist mentioned how Jehovah God dispatched His breath, and the large aquatic animals were formed and fashioned.
The verse continues, “and you renew the face of the earth.” The Psalmist added the words, “and you renew” or “and you, Jehovah God, make anew and rebuild” “the face of the earth” which means “the presence, front and countenance belonging to the land, country, region, territory, country and world”. The Psalmist said Jehovah God makes anew and rebuilds the presence of the world.
When we consider the words in this verse, we see how the Psalmist referred to Jehovah God's creative “breath” which was dispatched to form and fashion the large aquatic animals in the sea, and He employed that same great power to rebuild the presence of the world. God is all-knowing, all-powerful and omnipotent, and He is able to create what He desires. He made mankind for His good pleasure, and because sin separated man from a relationship with Him, He sent His Son Jesus into the world to die on the cross for the sins of all mankind. When we yield our lives to Jesus, He will forgive our sins, grant us everlasting life and allow us to experience and enjoy His creation both now and forevermore.
Next time the Psalmist says, “the glory of the LORD shall endure for ever”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until tomorrow…there is more…
