March 9, 2022 … All Creatures Alike

Berry Patch Devotions in 2021 - Day 68 


Devotional Song: ... GO TO THIS LINK ...    Please take the time to take in song and lyrics from the David Crowder band singing … All Creatures of the God and King …  poignantly singing of how God loves all His creations.  


"Timber" ... the beaver ... 

==============

Highlight Passage: … Psalm 36:6 [NLT] …   

Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, Your justice like the ocean depths.You care for people and animals alike, O Lord. 

… David acknowledges, in song, of God’s love for man and animals alike.                  

===============

Highlight Passage [Context]: … Psalm 36:5-10 [NLT] …  USE THIS LINK … 

… David sings and prays for love/grace from Yahweh, who loves all His creations alike.              ===============                                              .                                           


Highlight Passage [Context]: … Psalm 145:9  [NLT] …  

The Lord is good to everyone. He showers compassion on ALL His creation..  

… King David sings of God showing compassion on ALL He has created. 


Highlight Passage [Context]: … Isaiah 11:6-9  [NLT] … SEE THIS LINK  

… God, thru Isaiah, prophesies a time when all creatures on earth will know and worship Yahweh, our Lord and King, Who created all creatures for His own glory and pleasure.   


Highlight Passage [Context]: … Matthew 6:25-26  [NLT] …  

25 “That is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life—whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than food, and your body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are? 

… Jesus teaches on how God loves all His creatures but mankind being His crowing glory.   


Highlight Passage [Context]: … Revelation 5:13  [NLT] …   

13 And then I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and under the earth and in the sea. They sang:  “Blessing and honor and glory and power belong to the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb forever and ever.” 

… God, thru John, reveals that - in Heaven - all creatures created by God for His glory will worship and sing praises to the Lamb of God.       


My Devotional JournalToday's Our Daily Bread author, Mike Wittmer, … AT THIS LINK  told the comforting story of Michelle Grant and her rescued pet beaver, Timber (as in the photo), who was released into the wild, and one day swam up to Michelle in her kayak, showing Michelle that Timber had found a home under God’s watch care.              


And I hope all here take in the linked song and meditate on the truth of the Scriptures above, affirming for us what David sings in the highlight passage … that our God cares for all His creation, as Jesus preached in Matt 6; … and that our God watches over and cares for all He has created, … man and animals alike; … and, as Isaiah prophesied (see Isaiah 11) as well as John confirmed (see Revelation 5:13, that one day - In the New Jerusalem, all of God’s creatures - man and animals - will TOGETHER offer up worship for the Lamb of God, Who will rule over all He has created FOREVER.   


I don’t know about you, who read here with me;…  but I think that thought - and truth - deserves a robust HALLELUJAH!!!         


My THANKFULNESS: ... Oh, Abba Father, thank You, King Jesus, … for loving and extending Your mercy and grave to all Your created ones … man and animals alike.    


My Prayer Today: Oh Abba Father, ... King Jesus, ... . I pray that all reading here will join me, …  to offer up worship and praise to the One Who created us all.   Amen
