Psalm 148: “Awe Saves Lives”
Psalmists describe nature as if it was a creation choir: The sea roars; the fields exult; and the trees of the forest sing in Psalm 96. Psalm 98 describes how the earth makes a joyful sound; the floods clap their hands; and the hills sing together for joy. 1000s of years ago, people could very well imagine how all nature was bursting with song and jubilation. In contrast, in our modern times, the only thing you might know about the natural world is that it somehow ends up in your belly in form of a microwave meal and pre-packaged fruit puree.
Not only are people in Western society not learning to build relationships with the natural world, they are also unlearning the skill to gather in community to sing, help, worship, or play ball together. They don’t do it on purpose; it happens to them as a consequence of our disenchanted way of life. That would be fine, if it would make people happier and society a better place to live in. Change is normal and can bring wonderful improvements. But, as research shows, the opposite is the case. It makes people lonely, unhappy, and prone to illness, and society as a whole a more unfriendly, even hostile, place.
Come this Sunday, 10 AM, to Our Savior Lutheran Church, 745 Front St. S., Issaquah, and on YouTube, and let us sing and praise together!
– Pr. Kristin-Luana
