You Renew - Psalms 104:27-30

Psalms 104:27-30 ESV 

These all look to you,
to give them their food in due season.
When you give it 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.

Their sustenance comes in due season. Revelation at the right time and what is needed. This is our daily bread. Every good thing comes from the hand of our Father, like the gentle rain of manna from heaven. 

From dust we came and to dust we return. This is the arc of a natural man. When we receive His Spirit we become a new creature, the launching of an awakened being whose trajectory leaves the dust far behind and forever. 

The Spirit no longer hovers over the water, but has descended on our earth. We are separated from the sea humanity and have become part of the new earth.

His face shines on us. We become visible in His light. His light illuminates from the inside and we become stars that give light to the night, that burn without being consumed.
