I Don’t know how well you can see this small picture. It was taken a few years ago by me on a trip to Switzerland. We spent 3 days in the Alps and happened to be camping in a valley with dozens of waterfalls all around us. These waterfalls are created by melting winter snows and fall literally hundreds of feet to the valley floor. Unless you have been there, you cannot imagine the sound.
One particular day I was hiking above 12,000 feet and walking along a huge stream to the point that it plummeted to the valley floor. I was surrounded by the chirping of the birds of spring as well as the sound of the raw power of the water and I thought, “So this is how the mountains do it. This is how they pour forth their praise to God.”
Do you remember Psalm 98? Verse 8 says, ” Let the rivers clap their hands, let the mountains sing together for joy; 9 let them sing before the LORD,” NIV
Remember when the Pharisees tried to get Jesus to stop the people from crying out “Hosanna”. Jesus reminded them that “Out of mouths of children and infants He would recieve praise.”
Wow! All creation is made to honor and praise the One who made it. No wonder our hearts swell, a lump grows in our throats, and our eyes get a little misty. I consider it a priveledge to join all creation in lifting praises in all ways I can to my Lord and King.

    Reading this made me think of my little man, Colllin. We got home from church yesterday and he sang and sang and sang. Zacheus, Hosanna, This Little Light, on and on and on! He was in his room playing and I could hear him and my heart swelled and my eyes misted! What an amazing sound to hear my children praising God. WOW! is right!
