A Majestic God

Ps. 8:1-4

O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?

How majestic is God from creation to salvation! His glory is above all that He has made, and His power above any enemy. The distance between man and God is so great that man cannot begin to understand God. Yet even with this great distance, God made him lower than the angels and gave him glory and honor as a crown. He gave him dominion over all things under his feet. In fact, He made him to rule over the earth, but the irony is that the world and all that it includes rules him. He loves this dominion so much that he has worshiped the created things over the Creator. He has put a value so high on the world and its system that his conception of God is lacking, but for the man who remembers and worships God, he has only one response, O Lord, how majestic is Your name.
 
Father,
Keep my eyes on You so that You are foremost in my thoughts and the world is my mission not my ambition.
In Jesus name,
Amen
