The sport of it

O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Yonder is the sea, great and wide, creeping things innumerable are there, living things both small and great. There go the ships, and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it. These all look to you to give them their food in due season; when you give to them, they gather it up; when you open your hand, they are filled with good things. When you hide your face, they are dismayed; when you take away their breath, they die and return to their dust. When you send forth your spirit, they are created; and you renew the face of the ground. May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in his works—who looks on the earth and it trembles, who touches the mountains and they smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I live; I will sing praise to my God while I have being. May my meditation be pleasing to him, for I rejoice in the LORD. Let sinners be consumed from the earth, and let the wicked be no more. Bless the LORD, O my soul. Praise the LORD! (Psalm 104:24-35, NRSV)

I love this Psalm, because it shows that God has a sense of humor! As if I needed more than God calling me into the ministry as an ordained pastor to show me that He has a sense of humor…

But the line that the seas have creeping things innumerable and ships and Leviathan that He made for the sport of it!

Everything in the world was made by God and nothing happened apart from His plan.

And while we can find humor in Leviathan, we can also find hope in Leviathan. Because God created everything and nothing is a mistake or happened without His doing.

So you are special and made for a purpose!
