Background

Psalm 104 is the fifteenth in the Numbers Book of the Psalms, which goes to Psalm 106. God’s rest is a major theme of these 17 Psalms, and in this specific Psalm, we see the Messiah coming in power and glory. God has foreknowledge, and He knew that His Son would redeem mankind and restore all creation to God’s blessings and peace. Thus, the Father set things in order knowing what Jesus Christ would someday do (Colossians 1:15-20). This Psalm parallels God’s setting the heavens and earth in order as recorded in Genesis 1.

Background

Before God had His prophets write down His Word, God wrote it himself in the heavens. The stars, planets, and heavenly bodies describe the coming Messiah and the enemy that he would overcome. See “The Heavens Declare the Glory of God” and “We Can Trust God’s Word, Part 1” for more detail.

Background

This Psalm was well known to Jesus Christ. He quotes verse 2 in Matthew 21:16 in response to the chief priests and scribes being displeased that the people said “Hosanna to the Son of David.” These people were in the temple and praising God for sending the Messiah, for Jesus Christ had just entered in triumph to Jerusalem.

God Is God

I went for a beautiful walk this week up the hill from where we live. After plentiful rains, the literally acres upon acres of yellow-green mustard plants glistened in the sun. Bright golden fields of Brown-eyed Susans were punctuated by the royal purple of lupine and phacelia. I looked for my favorite—mariposa lilies—on the way up to the top, but did not find them in their haunt from two years before when rains were also abundant.
