All of Creation Glorifies Yahweh - Except Mankind...

Lessons on Praise from the Red Tajinastes 

In all of Yahweh's vast creation, the heavens glorify God. 

Psalm 19:1 "The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork."

Upon Earth, the trees raise their lofty boughs and gracefully direct our eyes upwards to Him. The beauty the natural world honors Him and reveals the loveliness of its Sovereign. Birds sing His praises. In fact, according to Scripture, even the amazing songs of the sea creatures - like the humpback whales - are songs of praise to the Creator:

Isaiah 42:10  "Sing unto Yahweh a new song, and His praise from the end of the Earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, and the inhabitants thereof."

Have you ever thought about it? What - in all of Yahweh's vast Creation - does not praise Him and bring Him glory? Only humankind...  How I wish I could have answered that nothing in all of Yahweh's vast Creation refrains from praising Him. And one day, this will be true! 

But while many people refuse to honor and praise the Creator, we may wisely choose to join in with the rest of creation in praising the King of kings.

Psalm 150:6  "Let every thing that hath breath praise Yahweh. Praise ye Yahweh."

Each day, NASA posts an astronomy photo of the day. I often look them over and have found some amazing images. Today's astronomy photo is the image below. In the image, which is a photo taken by Daniel Lopez, red tajinastes are in full bloom. Mr. Lopez used wide angle exposure and illuminated (with flashlight) the 3 meter tall flowering plants he found in the volcanic rocks on the Canary Island in the Teide National Park. 

I couldn't help but appreciate that the tall blooms are pointing upwards to their Creator, giving Him glory during their short blooming season, even though their devotion cannot be seen or appreciated by most.

I, too, want to bloom where my Creator has planted me. I want to point towards Heaven, giving my Father glory throughout all of my days. And may I glorify Him just as faithfully whether my devotion is seen by man or by Yahweh alone. This is my prayer. Is it yours as well?
