Day after day, he returned, notepad in hand, listening and looking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You know what surprised him most? The noise of trees! Branches creak like old doors, leaves rustle like crumpled paper, twigs crackle like tight joints, and seeds patter like tiny footsteps as they drop. Haskell called this patch of earth, \u201ca living symphony\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Psalm 29, we learn that heaven is also a noisy place. One version says that \u201chigh in God\u2019s temple, no creature is speechless\u201d. Every voice adds a melody and harmony, until a living symphony of praise is lifted before God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So right now, wherever you are, pause and listen to what is around you. Try to hear it as an echo of the heavenly chorus, inviting you to add your word of praise, your song, your whisper of \u201cthanks\u201d to God.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">More on the topic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Haskell is not a Christian, but he rightly marvels at humanity\u2019s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/GC77NnY9zAM?t=1463\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">unique role<\/a>\u00a0in the world<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Check out a great musical version of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kBeKo408y_8&amp;list=PLV1qFHhjwV5C3BoZ02-Gf_9AHEP0Wej1p&amp;index=38\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Psalm 29<\/a>!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A devotional on how\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ungrind.org\/joining-natures-remarkable-symphony-of-praise\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">being outside with God<\/a>\u00a0awakens and enlivens our faith<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A prayer to experience\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/reclaimtoday.org\/a-prayer-for-experiencing-god-in-nature\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">God in nature<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Listen and Look In 2007, the biologist David Haskell spent the year observing one square meter of forest ground.
