From the very beginning I was a little bummed about having to read the Psalms in the midst of this 90-day sprint. I guess my anxiety comes from cherishing the Psalms as they are often the inspiration for songs and prayers that I use on Sundays. Reading 24 in one day just seems kidna wrong. Oh well...I guess I must press on.
In commenting about worship the Psalms should generate some really easy discussion. Today I read what has probably become my favorite Psalm - Psalm 8. I'd like to quote a it tonight and leave it at that.
1 O Lord , our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
Your glory is higher than the heavens.
2 You have taught children and infants
to tell of your strength,s
silencing your enemies
and all who oppose you.
3 When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?s
5 Yet you made them only a little lower than Gods
and crowned thems with glory and honor.
6 You gave them charge of everything you made,
putting all things under their authority—
7 the flocks and the herds
and all the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
and everything that swims the ocean currents.
9 O Lord , our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
