All That Hath Life and Breath!

I made this little meme a few years back and it just makes me smile every time I see it.
"Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord!". 

So, are the animals able to praise God?     Yes I believe so.
 In the temple in Jerusalem, there were three sacrifices in a day. Schacharit, Mincha, and Maariv. Morning, afternoon and night. 
Birds sing together 3 times a day just as Daniel faced Jerusalem and prayed three times a day and as the Orthodox do to this very day. Pay attention to when birds are most vocal.

"Wild animals and all cattle, small creatures and flying birds, kings of the earth and all nations, you princes and all rulers on earth, young men and maidens, old men and children. Let them praise the name of the Lord, for his name alone is exalted; his splendor is above the earth and the heavens"  Psalm 148

Almost every culture has an oral history of  a time when animals could talk.  After all, God told Adam to choose a companion from among them. before Eve was created.    I believe it is true.

  1. Somehow I did not realize that animals praised the Lord. Thank you so much for sharing that scripture. I love when I go out for an early morning walk and the birds are singing so loudly. Now I know why. Have a blessed day and a Merry Christmas!
