Psalm 7 & 8

Sections of Psalm 8 are widely quoted. I have pulled out a few of the lines and made comments after them..

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
Praise is given to the name of God!

"When I consider your heavens, "
Sometimes we take our world for granted. We forget how wonderfully made this planet
is. Are there parts of your life that you are taking for granted at this moment?

"what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?"
Imagine in all of the universe, God pays attention to and cares for us.

"You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:"
Think of the responsibility that God has given us. We are the rulers over this planet. I
believe that also means we are responsibile for caring for what God has given us.

"O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!"
He concludes with praise. God is worthy of our praise. When we praise God, it changes us.
