You who laid the foundations of the earth, So that it should not be moved forever,
Psalms 104:5
Psalm 104 is a hymn of praise that exalts the greatness and sovereignty of God as Creator and Sustainer of the universe. In verse 5, the psalmist reflects on God’s power and wisdom in establishing the foundations of the earth, ensuring its stability.
The imagery of God laying the foundations of the earth speaks to His role as the Creator and Ruler of the universe. It reminds us that God is not only the author of creation but also its sustainer, holding all things together by His power and wisdom.
The same God who created the heavens and the earth is the one who holds them in His hands, ensuring their stability and order. No matter how unstable the world may seem, we can trust in the unchanging nature of God’s sovereignty.
Just as God established the foundations of the earth with wisdom and care, so too does He govern the affairs of the world with steadfast love and faithfulness. His purposes are sure, and His plans will ultimately prevail.
Take a moment today to marvel at the wonder of God’s creation and His sovereign rule over all things. As you contemplate the stability of the earth’s foundations, let it serve as a reminder of the unchanging nature of God’s character and His faithful care for His creation.
Pray
Lord, thank You for Your sovereignty and power as Creator and Sustainer of the universe. Help me to trust in Your wisdom and care, knowing that You hold the world in Your hands. Let me find peace and security in Your unchanging character and steadfast love. In Jesus’ name, amen.
