How Excellent is Your Name!

Psalm 8:1 "O LORD, our LORD, How excellent is your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!"

This earth, the moon, the stars and all that our Lord made are glorious creations! David says in verses 3-4 "When I look at Your heavens, and the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?"

Compared to the whole of the cosmos humanity is a small thing. When David wrote this Psalm he was in awe of the Lord and the way that He cares for us in light of His whole creation. That is the beauty of God though, He loves us so deeply that He sent His only son to die for us. God is not set on high marveling at the cosmos but rather His word reveals that He is bent in loving and caring for humanity in such a personal way that we should be looking up marveling at Him saying O LORD, Our Lord How EXCELLENT is Your name in all the earth!
