Psalm 8:1 For the director of music. According to gittith. A psalm of David. LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. 2 Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? 5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. 6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
I must have run over this word a few times as I read the psalms and ignored it. Seems we still can, but it might have been an instrument or a style of playing or singing??? Now let us take a look at the real heart of this message: “Majestic”. The Psalm uses this word twice: and defines it all the way through. “a stronghold …silencing…heavens, the work…humans…lower than angels…with glory and honor…rulers over the works OF YOUR HANDS…all…animals, …birds…fish.. all..” We cannot claim any of this, but with the gittith we can celebrate with meaning, heart and joy the “majestic” Lord of our lives.
For your prayers the Nation of Libya
Let the Christ in you shine
