1, 3 &4, 9
“Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the earth!
When I consider your heavens,
The work of your fingers,
The moon and the stars,
Which you have set in place,
What is mankind that you are mindful of them,
Human beings that you care for them?
Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the earth!”
I love all the praise in this psalm! It begins and ends with the joy of the Lord’s name. As many of you know, this first verse is the lyric of a beautiful song that fills me with delight.
Speaking of delight, if you haven’t had the opportunity to view the stars at night away from the city lights, you’ve missed a wonder of creation. As David notes, viewing the wonder of God’s beauty in the sky: the sun, the moon and the stars, is so humbling. Every day God paints a gorgeous sunrise and an amazing sunset. How can we be arrogant when we view the glory of the heavens?
“Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is your name in all the earth!”
Thank you Lord, for the beauty of your creation. Open our eyes that we may see the beauty of the heavens. Let us notice and appreciate the flowers and trees, the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea, and the animals on dry land. All praise and glory to the Creator God.
