Psalm 8
8 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!
Good Evening everyone,
I purposely printed out Psalms 8 because it reveals the greatness of our God.
Verse 1 and 9 begin with exactly the same words which say: oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the Earth.
The glory of our God is revealed to us by simply looking at his creation.
The heavens, the moon and the stars, man himself who God created in his own image.
I love verse 5 because it gives to us a beautiful picture of the Lord Jesus who was made a little lower than the angels, And has crowned him with glory and honor.
John said it so perfectly in the New Testament that: all things were made by him and without him was not anything made that was made.
CH Spurgeon explains that the creation of all things—the moon, stars, and earth—serves as the stage for God's greater work of salvation. While the heavens display God's power and wisdom, the cross reveals His redeeming love and divine justice
I started with this and I’ll end with it… oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the Earth.
