John & Maria, 1999, Florida
This morning we went to our prayer service in preparation for the Riverfest Sunday. The theme this week is Green Sunday, so we prayed with Psalm 8 in mind.
God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name. 2 Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you; toddlers shout the songs That drown out enemy talk, and silence atheist babble.
3 I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. 4 Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way? 5 Yet we've so narrowly missed being gods, bright with Eden's dawn light. 6 You put us in charge of your handcrafted world, repeated to us your Genesis-charge, 7 Made us lords of sheep and cattle, even animals out in the wild, 8 Birds flying and fish swimming, whales singing in the ocean deeps. 9 God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world. Psalm 8, The Message

My favorite Psalm is 139 but this is my 2nd favorite. I love it in "The Message". How awesome is our God!
Yes!
