Day 5 – February 18

Psalm 104:1-35

This Psalm recounts God’s ongoing involvement in Creation.  What is God’s role in the nourishment of creation and food production?

Water is a theme of Psalm 104.  Without water, there is little or no food.  Globally, drought and starvation go hand in hand.  The Midwest is in the midst of a drought right now and food prices (and hunger) have spiked as a result.  We’ve all enjoyed a winter without shoveling snow, but we need the moisture.

Saying a table grace is a tradition recognizing God’s involvement in the provision of food.  How often do you “say grace”?  Starting today, take a moment at the start of your meals to remember God’s part in making your food.  And pray for rain/snow so we’ll have plants to cultivate (Psalm 104:13-14)
