Majestic

 1 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?[c]
 5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
   and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
   you put everything under their[g] 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!
Psalm 8

As I was reading this psalm this morning, lightning was flashing through the skies, followed by rumbling thunder, as if the Lord was affirming to me me what these scriptures reflect: His unsurpassed majesty. He never ceases to amaze me- He is the Alpha and the Omega, endless, without beginning, the Shoreless Bottomless Ocean, Awesome Author of Life, Intergalactic Architect...yet He is mindful of each of us...our names graven on His Hands, His love for us boundless and enduring, not wanting any to suffer the torment of eternal hell. Who am I, that the Ultimate, Glorious, Majestic One should be mindful of me, making me just a but lower the angels, so valuable to Him that He sent His beloved Son to die in my stead? How can I not be forever grateful and adoring of my Bridegroom King? How can I have anything but gladness and thankfulness in my heart, or think less of myself or my equally invaluable brothers and sisters, those already saved and those who haven't had the revelation of who He really is yet?
Beloved, consider such Majesty and how He loves us... be glad and thankful everyday!
