Psalm 8
We have allowed our world to become too small. So much of our lives is focused on a screen, often not more than a few inches diagonally. This Psalm reminds us to marvel at the power of God displayed in the wonder of creation.
Only a heartless person is unmoved by the sweet, affectionate babbling of a toddler. In contrast to the tiny voice, consider the cosmos. If the universe is beyond comprehension, how much more is the universe's Creator? But to stack marvel upon wonder, God made an image bearer that would be just beneath Himself. The word "Elohim" appears in verse 5. The word sometimes refers to angels, sometimes to God Himself. In either case, human beings are far above the material creation. This being called man is marked by glory and majesty and given stewardship over creation. It is our great privilege to look over his creation in wonder and care, all for one purpose: that His name would be held in honor and majesty all over the world.
“Thank you, Lord, for who you made me to be and for the role You have given to me. AMEN”
