Psalm 8
Years ago, a few friends of mine and I went to Duxbury beach at around midnight to watch the Pleiades meteor shower. As we lay in the sand looking up, seeing one shooting star after another streaking across the backdrop of the stars, all I could think of was how insignificant are we in this magnificent universe.
At the time I did this, I did not have a relationship with God, in fact, I was very angry with God at the time, yet I was awed at the work of his hands.
There are times when we just have to take a step back and marvel at His creation and realize that we are included in it, and that God loves us enough to have done so.
Give you chills don’t it?
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!
Read the word of God; let it sink into your very being.
I once read that for some people the word is like a sauce, while for others it’s like a marinade.
Huh?
Some take the word and spread it over their lives, like a sauce, just thick enough to give it flavor and nuance. Others let it soak in so that the word changes the flavor of their lives.
Once you marinate in the word, go out tonight and look up, enjoy the work of God’s hand.
God’s glory shines through His creation.
