End of summer days here in Colorado tug me away from my computer. As I leave the house and breathe, I start to grasp David’s psalm expressing thankfulness for the Lord’s attention to the world we inhabit:

You care for the land and water it; you enrich it abundantly. The streams of God are filled with water to provide the people with grain, for so you have ordained it.

Everything we have comes from the hand of the Lord.

Whenever I walk through a grocery store, packed with fresh fruits and vegetables and breads and meats, I gaze upon the Lord’s bounty. It’s all there thanks to hard working farmers who tap into the streams of God.

Abundance. The produce aisle displays the goodness of the Lord in variety and glory, one obvious example of his generosity. It calls me to worship, to remain grateful for the streams of God flowing all around.
