You care for the land and water it;(R)
you enrich it abundantly.(S)
The streams of God are filled with water
to provide the people with grain,(T)
for so you have ordained it
This Psalm of David is full of imagery about the Earth. He talks about the seas and the mountains. He talks about morning and evening. He talks about the seasons and the bounty of the Earth. And all that bounty is tied to the water.
I am thinking about our new President and his lack of concern about our water. He says it's all about jobs, and that we need to make it easier for employers to hire people by eliminating protections over the streams. I think he's wrong, and I am vindicated by this Psalm. David was God's boy, and he surely knew the importance of water to our well-being.
Prayer: Lord, I am concerned about Your planet. Please guide our leaders to protect Your creation.
Amen
