Creation Moment 3/19/2023 - Psalm 104: The Creation Psalm

Bless the LORD, O my soul. O LORD my God, thou art very great; thou art clothed with honor and majesty. Psalm 104:1
 
"This psalm captures a historical event recorded in the first scroll of  Moses’ inspired text—God’s creation of all things. 
 
Many scholars, even those casting serious doubts on the historicity of Genesis, concede to the chronological order of this song. 
Examine carefully the prose, capturing the wonder, exuberance, and praises of God’s creative finger—and ponder how these inspired words relate to life then and now.
 
Both Psalm 104 and Genesis 1 portray God as our Creator, showing how He owns us as His creation and how He is to be praised. The psalm takes the reader from the waters of creation to the terrible waters of the Noahic Flood when they were at their highest, covering “all the high hills” (Genesis 7:19-20; Psalm 104:6-9; 2 Peter 3:5-6).
 
Scholars have noted the parallels between Psalm 104 and Genesis 1.

Day 1: Light (Psalm 104:2a) 
Who coverest thyself with light as with a garment:
Day 2: Creation of the firmament, waters above (vv. 2b-4)
Who layeth the beams of his chambers in the waters: who maketh the clouds his chariot: who walketh upon the wings of the wind:
Day 3: Dry land appears, formation of plants (vv. 5-18)
He causeth the grass to grow for the cattle, and herb for the service of man: that he may bring forth food out of the earth;
Day 4: Luminaries indicating times and seasons (vv. 19-23)
He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
Day 5: Creatures (vv. 24-26)
So is this great and wide sea, wherein are things creeping innumerable, both small and great beasts.
Day 6: Gift of life by God for animals and man (vv. 27-30)
Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created: and thou renewest the face of the earth.

Believer, never allow anyone to discount the historicity of Genesis 1–2. This magnificent psalm underscores and confirms the literalness of creation’s historical record."
