Even Ostriches Sing: How Creation Worships

Sometimes creation itself preaches better than any sermon. The skies proclaim God’s glory, the mountains whisper His strength, and even the strangest creatures sing His praise. In this episode of the Gospel Gumbo Podcast, we walk through Scripture’s grand vision of creation and let the Word lead us into wonder and worship.

·      Psalm 19: The heavens proclaim God’s glory without words, their sermon echoing across galaxies.

·      Job 38–41: God delights in mountain goats, ostriches, hawks, and Leviathan—reminding us that even the “useless” things matter to Him.

·      Psalm 104: Lions, cedars, rivers, and sparrows all depend on God’s hand, and He opens His hand to satisfy them with good things.

·      Colossians 1: All things—atoms, stars, oceans, DNA—were made through Christ and for Christ, and in Him all things hold together.

·      Romans 8: Creation groans in labor pains, waiting for renewal alongside us.

·      Revelation 21 & Isaiah 65: The story ends not in escape, but in a renewed heaven and earth filled with God’s presence.

We weave in stories of scientific discovery, strange creatures of God’s imagination, and even a walk through the salt marshes of New Jersey with my father, where I first learned that creation itself preaches. The episode builds to a crescendo: the mountains lift their heads, the rivers clap their hands, the stars sing their chorus—and now it’s our turn.

This episode is an invitation to worship—not only with hymns and prayers, but with hikes, gardens, stargazing, and gratitude for every breath in your lungs. Join the chorus.
