Welcome to Centennial - May 2012
All the earth worships you; they sing praises to you; sing praises to your name. Psalm 66: 4
Recently I was able to take some time for R & R at a friend’s home in Phoenix, Arizona. The highlight of our trip was the Grand Canyon. I was truly “blown away” by the majesty, the grandeur, the expanse, the depth, the breadth of this part of God’s creation. We approached from the east end of the National Park. As we stopped at several lookouts before we got to the village of Grand Canyon, the crowds got larger. Yet at each stop, as we approached the edge of the Canyon (some of us more timidly than others), I noticed the crowd was silent before such majesty. I drew near to the low brick wall at one stop, and I saw a plaque mounted there with Psalm 66:4 written on it. As I looked across at least 8 miles and sometimes more to the northern rim, and down the mile into the canyon to the Colorado River, at the beautiful layers of rock on the walls, the earth indeed sang praises to God. Whether we are sensing the reverence at the Grand Canyon, or breathing deeply in the midst of a pine forest, or enjoying a Saskatoon berry right off the bush, warmed by the sun, all the earth sings praises to God.
