Dependence

In Psalms 104.29-31, this morning. The psalmist here is working out the dependence of all creation upon their creator. This is a radically different view of creation than modern science has. The naturalist says I don't know how the world got here, but it is now running by itself. The psalmist says, everything is dependent upon the creator. Food to sustain life is given by the creator (vs. 28). If the Creator takes away it away—when you hide your face—then they die and return to dust. However, when God sends for His Spirit, then you renew the face of the ground. Birth, death, life, sustenance, rain, the sea, the creatures in the sea, it is all dependent upon the Lord.
