The Expressive Presence of the Lord
All look to you to give them their food in due season,  when you give to them, they gather it up, when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. Psalm 104: 27-28, today’s watchword. 
According to Spurgeon,  this particular Psalm gives an interpretation to the many voices of nature, and sings sweetly both of creation and providence. The poem contains a complete cosmos: sea and land, cloud and sunlight, plant and animal, light and darkness, life and death are all proved to be expressive of the presence of the Lord.
Friends, in light of all that is happening around us, God has not changed. The provisions He has made for us have not been altered. We may not feel led to wax poetry about His sovereignty especially when all around our souls seemingly gives way but that is exactly what we ought to do! Either way, Yahweh, will never fall off of His throne.
We live in a sin filled world, which, as a result, we are predisposed to all sorts of ills. It is in times like these when our sole purpose should be drawing closer to God; for although the days ahead may seem dark, we have the assurance and should display the same confidence as the psalmist for it is indeed God who laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be removed for ever.
As we are called to worship, may we each seek to do so wholeheartedly. One must not ignore the importance of offering praise and worship on his own per adventure, there is no physical fellowship of the brethren and his soul enters into distress.
As we reflect on God’s divine Providence,  may we be mindful of His commands. Loving our neighbors as ourselves and trusting through obedience that the Lord our God will yet again deliver us. Until next week,  I pray that others will be able to encounter Christ through you and therefore be able to attest that, “you have tasted that the Lord is good”. 1 Peter 2:3
Amen
