Psalm 135:7

OUT OF HIS TREASURIES

Psalm 135:7. “He causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings for the rain; he bringeth the wind out of his treasuries.” OUT OF HIS TREASURIES. Limitless in His resources All-powerful in His strength All knowing as the heavens in their courses Eternal in His being: breadth and length.

His treasuries in the heavens above Cannot contain all God is Measureless as the space, is His love The expanses of His universe – totally limitless

Broad expanses of beauty unfold Described best with bated breath Beauty is indescribable, better seen than told Evidence of God’s treasuries all over earth’s breadth

Veins like capillaries of precious metals Myriads of priceless gems Riches beyond description Earth’s treasuries all tell of Him.

Unseen except for the surface God’s treasures in the seas are hidden Even the richest of men cannot purchase Nor find the sea’s treasures unless bidden.

Only in one place are man’s footprints Placed there as God once allowed From the depths, another man prayed

And then cast by a fish onto dry ground.

But there are other treasures I have found God makes daily available to me They unfold to my soul on hallowed ground When glimpses of His glory I see.

“O Great Almighty God: in the silence of this morning, I look up and see treasures in the sky of life-giving rain. I look around and see life rising from dark ground. I look in, and the Holy Spirit reveals Christ – and I praise Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
