Psalm Eight...

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

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

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

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

word: “majestic”
phrase: “You have set your glory above the heavens”
call: “When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the starts, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” I absolutely love being outside. When I am out in creation, the scientific aspect of my mind comes to life. Creation surrounds us above, below, and around. When I’m surrounded by the absolute awe and beauty of a sunset, the intricacy of the plants from an algae-blanketed pond to the tall trees that seem to touch the sky, to the simple yet complex structure of an ant working so hard to build its home, how could I not declare “O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” :)
