Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 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? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! (Psalm 8).
Each time I read Psalm 8 it causes me to be humbled and awestruck! We should all read this Psalm once a month! I can also remember when we lived near the mountains in Tennessee, Kentucky, and Alabama and how beautiful the trees were in their full Fall colors against the backdrop of an early morning sunrise. It's incredibly exhilarating, inspiring, and worshipful. After all, who but the Creator of the universe could have designed such beauty that cannot be duplicated, and which escapes captivity by an artist's pen? If such an awe-inspiring scene is a foretaste of heaven, one can only imagine what glory awaits us. The vibrant colors and scents surrounding a face-to-face encounter with the Creator Himself ... who can begin to imagine!
If we would only take the time to look, we'd recognize the thumbprint of the Creator everywhere. The truth is the whole earth is full of His glory. The reflection of His glory can be seen in everything. His Name bears the perfection of excellence; His glory testifies of His holy estate; His handiwork is a display of His creative power.
The Lord God is infinitely more glorious and excellent than the noblest of creatures and those that shine most brightly. We on this earth only hear God's excellent name which in itself draws praise from the depths of our souls. The angels in the heavens see His glory and praise floods the throne room, yet He is exalted far above even their blessing and praise.
Our Lord Jesus sitting exalted at the right hand of the Father is the brightness of the Almighty's glory and the express image of His person. God set His glory above the heavens, far above all principalities and powers.
Praise Him today-not for what He's done but for who He is. He's not the "man upstairs" or the "big guy" or even "lordy, lordy". His Name is above every name, a name to be reverenced and regarded as holy. Take a moment and look around you. Catch a glimpse of the God we serve. He's no ordinary God. Our God is the one who set His glory above the heavens. His Son is the “King of Kings and Lord of Lords!” We need to recapture the awe-inspiring sense of His presence that Scripture teaches us. It would change our lives for sure and we could be all that He has planned for us to be.
HAVE A GREAT WEEK WITH JESUS!
