Today's Photograph . . . .  I Don't Praise God Enough (MQ)

Bible Study Verse

Psalm 148:7-13

Praise the Lord from the earth, you great sea creatures and all the depths; fire and hail, snow and clouds; stormy wind, fulfilling His word; mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars;

beasts and all cattle; creeping things and flying fowl; kings of the earth and all peoples; princes and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens; old men and children. let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is exalted; His glory is above the earth and heaven. (NKJV)

Thoughts 

After reading the praises in Psalm 146-150, I realized that I don't praise God enough for who He is and for His creation. 

The Bible study verse above caused me to reflect on our recent travel. The great diversity and complexity of His creation are absolutely magnificent. We caught numerous species of fish, crustaceans (crabs) and mollusks (clams, mussels, octopus), saw whales within 100ft of our 16ft boat, observed black and brown bear, bighorn and Dall sheep, mountain goats, moose, bison, elk, deer, antelope, wolves, coyotes, pheasants, grouse, and viewed a great variety of habitats--ocean, tundra, bayou, grassland, mountain, desert, and the hardwood and coniferous forests. We experienced stormy winds, lightning, and hail in the Southeast and returned home to snowy hills and mountains of the West.

PRAISE GOD FOR HIS GREAT CREATION!!!

Action Point 

Spend time reflecting on what you experience in the outdoors. Share those experiences with someone and praise God for His creation.

Sportsmen's Tip of the Day 

Keep a diary of travel, hunting, and fishing experiences. It's fun to look back, and will be another reminder to praise God for allowing you the experience.
