Questions for reflection on Psalm 96:
- How do you understand God’s relationship to creation?
- How is it that creation praises God?
- How does your relationship with creation reflect God’s relationship with it?
- In the Psalm it seems as though God’s “judgement” is a good thing. What emotions arise in you when you think of God’s judgement? In what way is it a good and joyful thing?
