READ: Psa. 29:1-11
MORE LESSON: Psa. 19:1-2
God displays His glory through His work: the whole universe shows His attributes and ability. If you consider the sky that stretches as though it has neither beginning nor end and that there is no pillar holding it, you will not doubt the greatness of the God who created such things. Even nature speaks of the glory of God. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth His handywork: Ps. 19:1.
Psalm 29:1-3 says, Give unto the Lord oh ye mighty, give unto the Lord, glory and strength . . . One way of giving glory to God is by talking about the mighty things He has done and by praising Him through reference to the things He has created. Give unto the Lord the glory due unto his name. Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness. The voice of the Lord is upon the waters…. This is talking about worshipping God by considering the things He has created in nature. Have you ever seen a large body of water, a sea or an ocean? There is the awesome aura that goes with being around such vast body of water. The greatness and glory of God is clearly shown to you by such things in nature. The voice of the Lord is truly upon the waters.
The glory of God is the nature of God in display. And God has chosen to display His nature through the great works He has made in nature. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: Rom 1:19-20. Nobody can claim that He doesn't know that God is great, majestic, full of power, splendour and glory because even nature testifies to who God is.
It is incorrect for you to think that God has not done something for you to thank Him for; He has done innumerable things for you personally. All the same, if you can't see the things He has done for you personally, you still have things you can praise Him for. Pick the seas, the skies, the wildlife and vegetation, the mountains and the air you breathe and begin to give glory to God who created such things. Only a great God could have made the sun and moon, which for years have not dropped from the sky. Give glory to God for His nature that is displayed through works of creation.
