Psalm 104

On Christmas day, I got the opportunity to watch the best movie ever made. It's a Disney movie called "Oceans" (check out the trailer here). It is an incredible journey that has no special effects, no plot, no dialogue. Pierce Brosnan (a former James Bond) is the only voice heard as he narrates a journey across the ocean to see some of the coolest sights ever seen by the human eye. It is an incredible feat that lifts up the Creator without ever acknowledging God's handiwork. I wouldn't expect it to, but watching that movie was worship for me in many ways.

This psalm brings back memories of watching that movie and of my two experiences snorkeling In the Atlantic Ocean. It amazes me that God, beyond the universe and infinite, would choose to get wrapped up in creation. After all, this is the God who rides the clouds, is wrapped in light and creates animals and monsters just to play in the seas. Not only that, God is so wrapped up in creation that God literally got wrapped in flesh and lived and played in creation. This God went to a cross and experienced the pain of human life and death, in order to rise again and redeem creation. I can't wait for the day when we can all play in creation. How about you?
