"Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth! You have covered the heavens with Your majesty! Because of Your adversaries You have established a stronghold, from the mouths of children and nursing infants, to silence the enemy and the avenger. When I observe Your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You set in place, what is man that you remember him? You made him little less than God and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him lord over the works of Your hands; You put everything under his feet: all the sheep and oxen, as well as the animals in the wild, the birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea that pass through the currents of seas. Yahweh, our Lord, how magnificent is Your name throughout the earth!
I really love this chapter 8! It's so easy, especially around the Holidays, to get caught up in myself and my own plans. Christmas break is ending and I'm trying to squeeze in time to do all the stuff I want to do before I go back to school and start class and homework again. I don't take enough time to humble myself and remember God's glory. I don't see everything that I am privileged with. When I have taken the time to just look around me at His creation, I see that glory. Who am I really? Who am I that God would love me as much as he does and bless me with the people and things I am blessed with? I am no one. I don't deserve any of it. Through Christ I have all of these things, and I do not thank Him enough. God has laid so much before us. Things for us to take and things for us to be responsible with, and more often than not we don't fulfill the tasks He gives us. Especially in this New Year, I want to start off right. I'm so excited to go to Passion in a few days and just spend time indulged in His Word and really studying it with THOUSANDS of other college kids!! God has given me so much , and it's my goal to try and use what I've been given for His glory, so that other will be lead to Him!
