keep it good

Sunday December 30^th, Psalm 148: Shout praises to the LORD! Shout the LORD's praises in the highest heavens. All of you angels, and all who serve him above, come and offer praise.  Sun and moon, and all of you bright stars, come and offer praise. Highest heavens, and the water above the highest heavens, come and offer praise. Let all things praise the name of the LORD, because they were created at his command. All of creation, all of God’s handiwork, all of the quarks and dark matter, your mother and father, your children born and the great great ones yet to come you will never see, all this and more (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/12/17/tour-of-the-known-univers_n_396287.html)  is the handiwork of the Lord.  Sometimes it is easy to forget that.  The human original sin of self-centeredness and wanting to be god with a little “g” always brings us back to ourselves.  We are the center of the Lord’s handiwork, we are the center of all people, we are the center of all creation.  It feels good for a moment, but it is wrong.  The Lord created all creation and said it was good.  Our job is to help keep it good.
