Week of October 4, 2009, Psalm 8
One of the Scriptures for Sunday is Psalm 8 – a great psalm expressing the majesty and glory of God, and the power of praise:
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise
because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider 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, the son of man that you care for him?
5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:
7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,
8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Dear Lord, I give You praise. How majestic is Your name in all the earth. Heaven and earth are filled with Your glory. Even little children and infants give You praise – and by doing that, they silence any foe and the avenger.
Lord, when I consider Your heavens, the obvious work of Your fingers – how You placed the moon and the stars in place – what is man, what is a person – who am I - that You are mindful of me – that You are mindful of everyone of us.
You made us a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned us with glory and honor. You made us ruler over the works of Your hands – You put everything under our feet. Each one of us is humbled by Your workmanship, by Your love as evidenced by Your creation.
O, Lord, our Lord, my Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
Thanks for Your power, Your glory, Your presence with us always. Amen.
May the Lord bless you as you go on your way. May He go before you to show you the way. May He go behind you to encourage you. May He go beside you to guide and befriend you. May He always be above you to watch over you. And may He be within you to give you peace.
In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

May you experience God in great ways this week, and as we experience the problems of life, may we be reminded to give You praise always.
