The Work Of Your Fingers
O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is
your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the
heavens. Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark
because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens, the work
of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are
human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them a little lower
than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.
You have given them dominion over the
works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet, all sheep and
oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of
the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is
your name in all the earth!
We are all like flowers – here today
and gone tomorrow! Some of us are here for just a little bit longer than the
next, and some of us are here for a shorter period of time.
The important point is to have the
right relationship with God so your time on earth is spent on giving Him glory,
rather than worrying about how long you will be around. God is love. He gave
His only Son to pay the penalty for our sin.
God loves us,
not because of who we are,
but because of
who He is.
