Psalm 104:2-24 and Job 12:7-10
Scripture: Psalm 104:5-24 (CEB) — You established the earth on its foundations so that it will never ever fall. You covered it with the watery deep like a piece of clothing; the waters were higher than the mountains! But at your rebuke they ran away; they fled in fear at the sound of your thunder. They flowed over the mountains, streaming down the valleys to the place you established for them. You set a boundary they cannot cross so they'll never again cover the earth. You put gushing springs into dry riverbeds. They flow between the mountains, providing water for every wild animal -- the wild donkeys quench their thirst. Overhead, the birds in the sky make their home, chirping loudly in the trees. From your lofty house, you water the mountains. The earth is filled full by the fruit of what you've done. You make grass grow for cattle; you make plants for human farming in order to get food from the ground, and wine, which cheers people's hearts, along with oil, which makes the face shine, and bread, which sustains the human heart. The Lord's trees are well watered -- the cedars of Lebanon, which God planted, where the birds make their nests, where the stork has a home in the cypresses. The high mountains belong to the mountain goats; the ridges are the refuge of badgers. God made the moon for the seasons, and the sun too, which knows when to set. You bring on the darkness and it is night, when every forest animal prowls. The young lions roar for their prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they gather together and lie down in their dens. Then people go off to their work, to do their work until evening. Lord, you have done so many things! You made them all so wisely! The earth is full of your creations!
Scripture: Job 12:7-10 (CEB) — But ask Behemoth, and he will teach you, the birds in the sky, and they will tell you; or talk to earth, and it will teach you; the fish of the sea will recount it for you. Among all these, who hasn't known that the Lord's hand did this? In whose grasp is the life of everything, the breath of every person?
