God created the world then He put humans in charge Psalm 8

Psalm 8 God Created a beautiful planet

After God created the world he made humanity the primary stewards of his creation. How are we doing so far? Any suggestions from my fellow stewards?

Psalm 8:1 from the Pulpit Commentary

O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
Verse 1.O Lord our Lord. In the original, Jehovah Adoneynu; i.e. “Jehovah, who art our sovereign Lord and Master.” As David is here the mouthpiece of humanity, praising God for mercies common to all men, he uses the plural pronoun instead of the singular one. How excellent is thy Name in all the earth! or, “How glorious is thy Name!” (Kay, Cheyne). Who hast set thy glory above the heavens. It is difficult to obtain this sense from the present Hebrew text, but some corruption of the text is suspected.

 

Psalm 8:1  God Created the earth

Psalm 8:2  The Lord gives strength

“Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings, have you ordained strength because of thine enemies, that you might still the enemy and the avenger.”

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have ordained.”

White Stone Watcher

Hello readers,

I’ve served as a children and youth pastor for over three decades. It was a great honor and pleasure to serve the Lord in that way. It’s been my prayer, that many of them will learn of Jesus’ love and decide to commit their lives to follow Him.

I wrote the fiction story, ‘White Stone Watcher’ for them and their parents. In the story, we see a young man, and his best friend, Amanda. They face the normal challenges that today’s kids face at school. But with one huge difference.

Their challenge is twelve feet tall to be exact with an enormous set of six wings. Just like the prophet Isaiah saw in the throne room of God. He’s a Watcher, an angelic being who is still invisible to Amanda. The messenger from God is about to lead both of them on a spiritual journey. They find they can’t escape the unseen war that rages all around them. They will become key players that God will use in the battle between the Sons of Darkness and the Children of Light.

I invite you to pray about a youth who might enjoy and benefit from this story. As the world grows darker, our youth must become aware that the Lord is calling them to join the Children of Light in the fight for what is righteous. We’re all involved, whether we realize it or not. If they won’t go to church, maybe they’ll read a book about someone just like them facing challenges at school.

God is calling them.

Praying for the youth, and spiritual awakening.

Pastor Doug
