**Psalms 104:31** — *"May the glory of the LORD endure forever; may the LORD rejoice in His works."*
The psalmist does something remarkable here — he does not merely praise God for what creation *does for us*. He turns the gaze entirely toward God's own delight. The cedar, the conies, the Pleiades — these exist first for His rejoicing, not our comfort.
This reorients the steward's posture. We tend to measure creation's worth by its utility. Scripture reminds us it carries a prior weight: it is the handiwork in which God Himself finds gladness.
To walk through a field, a city block, or a hospital corridor with this in mind is to walk differently — as one who tends what the Creator already rejoices over.
The glory endures not because we protect it, but because He sustains it. We are invited, by grace, to dwell inside that enduring joy — not as owners, but as beloved witnesses to what He has made and called good.
