Psalm 146:4-9
| Happy are they who

Who made heaven and
earth, the seas, and all that is in them;
who keeps
his promise forever.
(vs 5-6)

Reflection on Psalm 146: 4-9
by the Rev Dcn Helen Hanten
Happy are they, indeed, for in wildness is found everything humans
needed to flourish in the created order, in balance with the web
of life and its system of interdependence of all living things
in their environment. How easily we are enticed into thinking
we can use it all for our own good. We tend to evaluate
the worth of any other species by how its existence benefits ours
– forgetting that the same creator made everything in heaven,
on earth and in the sea.
