Psalm 8 - God's glory apparent in all creation!

Psalm 8 - New Living Translation

O Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.

You have taught children and nursing infants
to give you praise.
They silence your enemies
who are seeking revenge.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers-
the moon and stars you have set in place-
what are mortals that you should think of us,
mere humans that you should care for us?
For you made us only a little lower than God,
and you crowned us with every glory and honor.
You put us in charge of everything you made,
giving us authority over all things-
the sheep and the cattle
and all the wild animals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.

Oh Lord, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!

Oh Lord . . please help me not to forget to thank you for all that you do for me and for all of us . . You could have turned your back on us when we went astray. . . . but You did not. You decided to send Your Son Jesus Christ so that we might have Salvation if we would only believe in Him. You could have made the world any way You wanted, but You chose to create beauty in everything we see . . so that when we are feeling sad and lonely . . sometimes all it takes is to go outside . . to be reminded of all that is good in the world. Thank you Lord . . for providing food, clothes, friends, family, love, happiness, joy, music, and beauty, so that my daily life can be a joy to live . . if I will only see it that way. Amen
