Psalm 8

Psalm 8

1O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have ^(A)displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
2^(B)From the mouth of infants and nursing babes You have established ^(C)strength
Because of Your adversaries,
To make ^(D)the enemy and the revengeful cease.
3When I ^(E)consider ^(F)Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The ^(G)moon and the stars, which You have ordained;
4^(H)What is man that You take thought of him,
And the son of man that You care for him?
5Yet You have made him a ^(I)little lower than God,
And ^(J)You crown him with ^(K)glory and majesty!
6You make him to ^(L)rule over the works of Your hands;
You have ^(M)put all things under his feet,
7All sheep and oxen,
And also the beasts of the field,
8The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea,
Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9^(N)O LORD, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

im back from the first retreat now.

i have too much i want to say, so i'll keep this short.
i like this psalm because it reminds of how great God is, just the magnitude of universe and the earth that declares his glory. really thinking about "What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him?" seriously, who are we that we're so blessed with all we have and God loves us, and cares for our every need, sanctifies us, makes us more like his Son. it makes me sad to think of all the people who just dont get how much God loves them and wants them to turn from their sin back to him. i think alot of my pride is preventing me from really writing anything more personal, and im sorry guys.

my teeth are better. one side is still kinda swollen. vicodin is some powerful stuff.

going on another retreat on monday, where i'll be counseling 9th grade girls. im really excited, pray that i'm shine Christ to them, not myself or my own will.

How good God is. How majestic is his name.
