Psalms 95:3-5 (NASB Strong's)
For the Lord is a great God
And a great King above all gods,
In whose hand are the depths of the earth,
The peaks of the mountains are His also.
The sea is His, for it was He who made it,
And His hands formed the dry land.

Psalm 95 is a Psalm of praise and admonition. It begins in praise and ends with an admonition to note forsake obeying and praising God. God is worthy to be praised. If we didn't just know that the writer gives us some valid reasons to sing out in praise. No other god even claims to have made the earth. Man, even in disobedience and unbelief, gives the creation of the world to another god. Man has decided that the earth just made itself. But, in the above passage the writer tells us to praise God because He is above all gods BECAUSE He made the earth; the mountains; the sea; the dry land. Today man worships the earth. Going out to enjoy the earth without recognizing God's splendor in the earth is to worship the creation over the Creator. Paul stated that man's sin leads him to do just that ...
Romans 1:22-25 (NASB Strong's)
Professing to be wise, they became fools, and exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible man and of birds and four-footed animals and crawling creatures.
Therefore God gave them over in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, so that their bodies would be dishonored among them. For they exchanged the truth of God for a lie, and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen.
We are to worship the Creator, not the Creation!
