My daughter Rosie has a hamster named Angela Vanilla Peach. She's the cutest little thing, often busy carrying her bedding from place to place, running through the little maze we've connected to her cage, through the tunnels and pipes which join the different parts together. It's fun watching her go about her day, with a purpose beyond my understanding.
It's a microcosm of this whole world, a tiny example of what's happening over every square inch of this earth. Life is everywhere, and every lifeform has a purpose to live, to store up for winter, to procreate, to eat, and maybe even other things that I could never guess.
Isn't it amazing? All of this life is glorifying God by its complexity, it's pleasure in the mundane, it's mere existence!
I worship with the Psalmist: this is a beautiful world we live in! Bless the Lord, O my soul! Praise the Lord!
I'd love to hear how you worship our God through your "mere existence."

Psalm 104:24-35
24 O Lord, how manifold are your works!
In wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
25 Yonder is the sea, great and wide,
creeping things innumerable are there,
living things both small and great.
26 There go the ships,
and Leviathan that you formed to sport in it.
27 These all look to you
to give them their food in due season;
28 when you give to them, they gather it up;
when you open your hand, they are filled with good things.
29 When you hide your face, they are dismayed;
when you take away their breath, they die
and return to their dust.
30 When you send forth your spirit, they are created;
and you renew the face of the ground.
31 May the glory of the Lord endure for ever;
may the Lord rejoice in his works—
32 who looks on the earth and it trembles,
who touches the mountains and they smoke.
33 I will sing to the Lord as long as I live;
I will sing praise to my God while I have being.
34 May my meditation be pleasing to him,
for I rejoice in the Lord.
35 Let sinners be consumed from the earth,
and let the wicked be no more.
Bless the Lord, O my soul.
Praise the Lord!
