reflections: Psalm 66

“Come and see the works of G-d.” – Psalms 66:5, JPS 1917 Tanach

The “works of G-d” include Yam Suf (Splitting of the Sea), when G-d “turned the sea into dry land;” and the crossing through the Jordan, when “they went through the river on foot.” These are examples of G-d’s mastery of His creation, what is often referred to today as nature. When outside in the natural world, viewing a sunset, or majestic mountains, let us recall the One who maintains the entire world. For, His essence is the reality behind all of the beauty of nature.
