Psalm 96:5-7

For all the gods of the peoples are idols,
    but the Lord made the heavens.
Honor and majesty are before him;
    strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
Ascribe to the Lord, O families of the peoples,
    ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.

Prayer

Holy God, You have created a world filled with miracles. While we marvel at the way a hefty bumble bee can fly, we know that You have created it all, called it good, and set it in motion. We thank You for the gift of Your good creation. Strengthen us today to be the caretakers You call us to be. Empower us to love one another and Your world. In Your name we pray, Amen.
