PSALM 74 THE BOUNDARIES GOD ESTABLISHED
10 How long, O God, is the foe to scoff?
Is the enemy to revile your name forever?
11 Why do you hold back your hand, your right hand?
Take it from the fold of your garment and destroy them!
12 Yet God my King is from of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 You divided the sea by your might;
you broke the heads of the sea monsters on the waters.
14 You crushed the heads of Leviathan;
you gave him as food for the creatures of the wilderness.
15 You split open springs and brooks; you dried up ever-flowing streams.
16 Yours is the day, yours also the night;
you have established the heavenly lights and the sun.
17 You have fixed all the boundaries of the earth;
you have made summer and winter. – Psalm 74:10-17

A poem inspired by this psalm by ILMA
When God created the earth, he established boundaries
He made light and called it day; then he called it night for darkness
The Lord divided the water from the land and called them earth and seas
He made creatures from the waters and separate it from those in the land.
The Lord God created all things, he separated season from each other
He made them distinct from each other: fall, spring, winter and summer
God made every creature different from one another with distinct features
Each animal or plants and trees have their own exclusive structure.
The Lord God also created man and woman with differences in appearance
Each of them has their own different role, strength and weakness
God chose those all who belong to him and called them his children
He separated his own possession from those who serve the world and Satan.

REFLECTION
• Why do you think God created almost all things with boundaries?
• What would happen if you don’t respect the boundaries that God established?
