Majestic Is Your Name In All The Earth

LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above 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 are mere mortals that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?

You have made them a little lower than the heavenly beings 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: 1-9

God cares about us, even if we are sinful. He loves us and He prepares a way for us, through Jesus Christ.

David had some tough questions for God. He had discovered what it was like to lose his way when he excluded God and followed his own sinful path. But as he penned the Psalms, he was a man in search of godliness, which meant he probed God’s mind about difficult subjects.

Like David, we too have questions. Keep asking. Then, through faith in God’s Word and the work of the Holy Spirit, listen as He leads you in His way.

It’s good to have questions, but it’s even better to search for God’s answers.
