Re:Verse reading–Psalm 8 (day four)
Have you ever stood out in the country, or better yet, on top of a mountain and looked up into the vast night sky? The stars…the Milky Way…the constellations…the universe… stretched before you from east to west, north to south? I have. The pictures are etched into my memory. I can not only remember most every experience, I can remember the overwhelming feeling of grandeur. It is Psalm 8 that immediately comes to mind when I have such an experience. The majesty of the creation is but a small portion of the majesty of the Creator. As we contemplate the glory of our Creator, the response of the Psalmist wells up inside us…’when I consider all of this, God, what is man that you are mindful of him?’ The focus of our worship must always be on the person of God. The Psalmist started and ended this psalm in recognition of that…”O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!”
