God's Glory in a Volcano

Commentary by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

The volcanic eruption in Iceland serves as a striking reminder of the beauty and power of God as Creator. Despite the scientific explanations that attribute such wonders to natural forces over millions of years, there is a profound absence of recognition of God's role in initiating and sustaining these massive forces that maintain the earth and make it habitable and productive. The spectacle of the volcano, though minor compared to historical giants like Krakatoa or Vesuvius, offers a glimpse into the awesome might at God's command, forces that obey His will. This display of creation's power echoes the humbling realization of God's greatness, prompting a deeper appreciation of His unparalleled authority over all things.

Psalm Genres (Part Five): Psalms of Praise

Sermon by Richard T. Ritenbaugh

Psalms of praise celebrate God's worthiness through what He has revealed of Himself in creation. We can look out on the world and see a wonderful environment that He has given us, a tremendous symbiosis that shows there was one Maker who made all things to work together. From this, we learn great things about Him, seeing the beauty and the laws that create an environment where we can grow, learn, and have wonderful lives. We can see much about God in the earth and praise Him for it. Not only is He the great God Most High, but specifically, He is Creator. He made all things, and we owe Him everything because without Him, we would not exist. He decided not only to create us but to bless us with our environment to help us prosper, and for this, we should sing songs of praise. His worthiness is evident in His omnipotence, as He has full control over His creation and is ultimately responsible for all its functionality, upholding the laws and making everything work together. Everything we see in nature, other than the effects of sin, underlies His creation, and He is responsible for it all. Therefore, we should never cease praising Him for His work in creation and nature.
