August 8, 2025, Psalm 8:1-9

8 O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
²     Out of the mouth of babies and infants,
you have established strength because of your foes,
    to still the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers,
    the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
⁴ what is man that you are mindful of him,
    and the son of man that you care for him?

⁵ Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings
    and crowned him with glory and honor.
⁶ You have given him dominion over the works of your hands;
    you have put all things under his feet,
⁷ all sheep and oxen,
    and also the beasts of the field,
⁸ the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea,
    whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

These verses encourage us as we stand in awe of how great our Lord is that he created the heavens, earth and all that is within.  Are we experiencing God’s majesty and the realization that he has graciously included us in his glory.  These verses share the very fact that God desires a love relationship with us and exalts us as he gives us task to do for him.  

How does contemplating on the nature of God affect you?  

How do you feel and react to all God has done for you?
