Psalm 104

1. How do we praise the Lord? See verses 1 and 35.
2. Scientists say that the amount of water on earth is in fact the same throughout history. See vv6-7 and share the many ways water affect the lives of individuals and communities.
3. The psalm has many descriptions (e.g. vv11-18) of God’s creations, for example, the birds (v12), the goats (18). What are the key points for you? Share your own findings and reflections with the group.
4. Verses 19-23 speak about a God who is full of life, he created rises and wanes of times and seasons, and growth of all beings. What do you think v23 mean?
5. Verses 27-30 continue on the theme of “life”. Split the group into twos, share with each other what God has put in your heart about how special life is. Pray to give thanks to God and we know him more.
6. Earthquakes, avalanche, floods and hurricanes are some of the disasters that appear to become more and more common now than say 10 years ago. Verse 32 suggests the earth is subject to God’s actions. How might we explain such disasters to people who disagree God loves everyone?
7. Verse 35 stands as a contrast in this psalm. The psalmist has a negative view of the unfaithfuls since they disobeyed God. How else does the psalmist consider these people? See vv33-34.
8. This psalm is as much about God’s creation order as his plans for us in this creation. Think about whaling and eco-social responsibility. Spend the rest of the group’s time on this topic to suggest topics for attention or improvement, and any action points.
