Trees shout while the sea thunders and the fields rejoice
and all creatures sing the refrain, “Great is the Lord and greatly to be
praised.” The new song that the whole earth sings is prompted by the promise to
judge the world with righteousness and the peoples with truth and equity. That is
not good news for everyone as being judged in truth is a problem for those who prefer
to live lies and despise righteousness. But for those who despite their
sinfulness are drawn to the beauty of God’s holiness being judged with equity
is an invitation to finally be free of the laundry list of all that diminishes
life and makes us less than human.
