Psalm 96:11-13 Let the heavens be glad, and the earth rejoice! Let the sea and everything in it shout his praise! Let the fields and their crops burst out with joy!  Let the trees of the forest sing for joy before the Lord, for he is coming!

“It will not serve us well, if the Sabbath is entered into with much busyness and noise. Actively hear the pounding of the sea or the crops burst out with joy. To listen to the trees rustle with praise requires at the very least, to be quiet. We must put ourselves before creation and listen.” Sabbath by Dan Allender p.48
