Psalm 104  " O Lord, how many are Your works!"  One more "meditation" from this psalm goes hand in hand with the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:11 "Give us this day our daily  bread".  The psalmist says "They all wait for Thee, to give them their food in due season. Thou dosts give it to them, they gather it up; Thou dost open Thy hand, they are satisfied with good."  Think of the greatness and goodness of our God, who is mindful of us!
v11 - He sends water for the animals in the fields.
v12 - He gives to the birds what they need and they respond with their singing.
v13 - He satisfies the whole earth with His works!
v14 - He makes grass grow for cattle. He enables a farmer to grow vegetables!
v15 - He brings forth grapes to make wine and olives for oil
v16 - He provides rain for trees.  He planted the trees in the first place.
v17 - He directed birds to build their nests high up in trees.
v18 - He made mountains for the wild goats and cliffs for the badgers.
v19 - He made the moon and sun to move the way they do for His purposes.
v20  - He made night for prowling lions to get their prey.
Every part of creation was thoughtfully and perfectly made.  And every bit of it is dependent on Him!
He brings life and He takes life away.  It is all according to His grace and for His glory.
"I will sing to The Lord as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have my being."
Bless The Lord! Praise to You O God, most High!  You are our Provider. Thank You today for our daily bread.  Food for the body and food for the soul! We look to You for all we need today. "Give us this day our daily bread."
Amen.
