From the highest height to the deepest depth, everything in nature and the universe praises the Lord Jesus. Let's travel from the highest height to the deepest depth and see the many things in nature that constantly praise the Lord Jesus. In the picture above both the sun and moon are praising the Lord Jesus. Psalm 150:6 says Let every thing that hath breath praise the Lord. Praise ye the Lord.
Every day say Thank you Lord Jesus for dying for me on the cross of Calvary. If you don't feel like praising the Lord Jesus because of all the troubles of this world, keep praising Jesus and give Jesus a sacrifice of praise. Hebrews 13:15 says By Him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to His name. Don't let a stone in nature cry out and shout praise to Jesus more than you. Luke 19:40 says And He answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out.
The Lord Jesus inhabits our praises. I once asked a little child, where does the Lord Jesus dwell. The little child pointed up to the sky and then to his heart. But Brother Bob told the little child and all people reading this bible study, just begin to thank and praise the Lord Jesus for destroying all your problems at the cross of Calvary while you tell the devil daily I am crucified with Jesus Christ, and Jesus will dwell in your praises. Psalm 22:3 says But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises of Israel.
Now lets start in the highest heights and see the many things in nature that praise the Lord Jesus. Notice the picture above of the sun and the moon, and the next time you look up at the sky with it's planets and billions of stars remember that all these heavenly bodies continuously utter, praise, and declare the glory of Jesus. Psalm 19:1 says The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament sheweth His handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard.
Psalm 148:1 lists all the heavenly bodies in the heights that praise the Lord Jesus. Psalm 148:1 says Praise ye the Lord. Praise ye the Lord from the heavens: praise Him in the heights. Praise ye Him, all His angels: praise ye Him all His hosts. Praise ye Him, sun and moon: praise Him, all ye stars of light. Praise Him, ye heavens of heavens, and ye waters that be above the heavens. Let them praise the name of the Lord: for He commanded, and they were created. He hath also stablished them for ever and ever: He hath made a decree which shall not pass.
The next level is the air where the birds fly and praise Jesus. Birds wake up early every day and sing praises to Jesus. The bird pictured above is happy and singing praise to Jesus early in the morning. The next day you wake up and hear the birds chirping, cheeping, tweeting, and warbling, remember that each chirp, cheep, tweet, and warble is a praise to the Lord Jesus. Birds have bills but they keep on singing.
The bible tells us that birds and flowers praise the Lord Jesus. Song of Solomon 2:12 says The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle (turtledove) is heard in our land. Whenever you see a flower blossom and bloom, remember that is the flower's way of saying Thank you Lord Jesus. We should learn a lesson from flowers. No matter how many storms and winds blow on the flowers, the flowers say in the midst of all the troubles, Jesus I'll continue to praise you and present this beautiful blossom to you as a token of my praise. Let's be like the flowers and praise the Lord Jesus no matter what troubles are around us.
Psalm 55:6 says And I said, Oh that I had wings like a dove. For then would I fly away, and be at rest. The next time you see a dove, remember that we will praise the Lord Jesus forevermore and fly away when we are caught up to meet the Lord Jesus in the air during the rapture. I used to say Jesus where in the bible does it say we will fly away? Psalm 90:10 says The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. This is why we sing the song Some glad morning when this life is over, I'll fly away. To a home on God's celestial shore, I'll fly away.
Now since we are talking about birds, I have to mention the eagles. Brother Bob loves eagles. Brother Bob once went to a zoo and looked at the eagle for four straight hours and praised Jesus for the eagle's majestic wing span. You can learn about Jesus by studying the eagle. Christians will be like the eagles and one day rise high above all their problems and ride the wind freely with their wings.
The one thing I love about eagles is that when an eagle reaches the heights above his troubles, that eagle shouts a loud praise to Jesus. Like the eagles, I pray in Jesus name that anyone reading this will rise to the heights above all their troubles and shout a loud praise to Jesus. Isaiah 40:31 mentions eagles and says But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.
Deuteronomy 32:11 says As an eagle stirreth up her nest, fluttereth over her young, spreadeth abroad her wings, taketh them, beareth them on her wings: So the Lord alone did lead him (Jacob Israel), and there was no strange god with him. He made him ride on the high places of the earth, that he might eat the increase of the fields; and He made him to suck honey out of the rock, and oil out of the flinty rock.
The prophet Jeremiah mentioned that the storks, cranes, turtledoves, and swallows also remember and praise Jesus. Jeremiah 8:7 says Yea, the stork in the heaven knoweth her appointed times; and the turtledove and the crane and the swallow observe the time of their coming; but my people know not the judgment of the Lord. Finally don't forget the little sparrow and keep watching for Jesus' return. Psalm 102:7 says I watch, and am as a sparrow alone upon the housetop. Remember Jesus' warning at Revelation 16:15 that says Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
The next level is the earth where many things in nature praise the Lord Jesus. Notice the picture above of mountains, little hills, rams, and lambs to prove that the mountains and little hills praise Jesus while they skip like rams and lambs. Psalm 114:4 says The mountains skipped like rams, and the little hills like lambs. Isaiah 55:12 says For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. The birds are singing in the mountains and hills while the branches of the trees clap their hands in the wind with a sacrifice of praise to the Lord Jesus.
Now some other things we find on this earth that praise Jesus are the clouds and the winds. Wow, look at the second picture above of Jesus walking on the wings of the wind with the clouds as His chariot and the dust of His feet. Now the next time you hear what Brother Bob says is the strange sound of the blowing wind, remember Jesus is in this wind and walks upon the wings of the wind. Psalm 104:3 proves this and says Who layeth the beams of His chambers in the waters. Who maketh the clouds his chariot, who walketh upon the wings of the wind. And Hallelujah, the prophet Nahum stated that the clouds are the dust of Jesus' feet. Nahum 1:3 says The Lord is slow to anger, and great in power, and will not at all acquit the wicked; The Lord hath His way in the whirlwind and in the storm, and the clouds are the dust of His feet.
Finally, I will list all the earthly creatures that praise Jesus. Note even when you hear the insects buzzing, the buzz is a praise to Jesus. Psalm 148:7 says Praise the Lord from the earth, ye dragons, and all deeps; fire and hail; snow and vapours; stormy wind fulfilling His word; mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; beasts and all cattle, creeping things, and flying fowl; kings of the earth, and all people; princes and all judges of the earth; both young men and maidens, old men and children; Let them praise the name of the Lord, for His name alone is excellent; His glory is above the earth and heaven.
OK, now after writing about all the many things in nature that praise Jesus, Brother Bob has a question for you all. Do you all want to do a good thing today? Brother Bob says meditate on Psalm 92 and do Psalm 92 that says It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High. So let's all do a good thing right now. Everyone everywhere start to thank Jesus right now and do a good thing today. Don't let nature outpraise you. Remember the joy of the Lord is your strength as you praise Jesus as Lord. Psalm 100 which I love and encourage you all to memorize says Make a joyful noise unto the Lord, all ye lands. Serve the Lord with gladness; come before His presence with singing. Know ye that the Lord He is God; it is He that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of His pasture. Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise; be thankful unto Him, and bless His name. For the Lord is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endureth to all generations.
