Oh Lord, How Excellent is Your Name in All The Earth!

Summer is really here. Today was a HOT day. It's nearing midnight as I write this, and it's close to 80 degrees out. The night sky has been interesting. In this image the cloud in front of the moon looks to me like an outstrected hand.

The awesomeness of creation at times just overwhelms me. And I wonder--how can anyone really believe that all of this order just came about randomly from chaos? How can anyone doubt there is a God?

For tonight, I'm just sharing one of my favorite Psalms... Psalm 8 (NKJV)

¹ O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

² Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

⁴ What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?

⁵ For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

⁷ All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,

⁸ The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O LORD, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!
