September 14: Make a Joyful Noise.
The Heavens Marveled and Rejoiced at God's Creation.
"To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?"--Job 38:6, 7, NKJV
WHEN "THE HEAVENS AND THE EARTH WERE FINISHED, and all the host of them" (Genesis 2:1), the Creator and all heavenly beings rejoiced in contemplation of the glorious scene. "The morning stars sang together, and all the songs of God shouted for joy." Job 38:7.--The Desire of Ages, 769.
As the earth came forth from the hand of its Maker, it was exceedingly beautiful. Its surface was diversified with mountains, hills, and plains, interspersed with noble rivers and lovely lakes; but the hills and mountains were not abrupt and rugged, abounding in terrific steeps and frightful chasms, as they now do; the sharp, ragged edges of earth's rocky framework were buried beneath the fruitful soil, which everywhere produced a luxuriant growth of verdure. There were no loathsome swamps or barren deserts. Graceful shrubs and delicate flowers greeted the eye at every turn. The heights were crowned with trees more majestic than any that now exist. The air, untainted by foul miasma, was clear and healthful. The entire landscape outvied in beauty the decorated grounds of the proudest palace. The angelic host viewed the scene with delight, and rejoiced at the wonderful works of God.--Patriarchs and Prophets, 44.
Before the mountains were born,
before you gave birth to the earth and the world,
from beginning to end, you are God.
--Psalm 90:2, NLT
