The thought of an eternal God thinking about His Creation is amazing to me. We in our flesh chose to turn our hearts away from God. He considered us when we were deep in our sins, and chose to make a way for us to be saved. Man tends toward thinking of himself than thinking of what he has done to God. God has done so much for man, why can't we praise the Lord for the great thing He has done? Do you see these false gods and idols sacrificing themselves to save us from ourselves? The one true God has done that and so much more.
"O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"(8:1) My God is wonderful and He alone deserves my praise. If I cease to praise Him; then His creation will carry on. I am not saying that His creation becomes anthropomorphic, but I am saying the praise of the Lord echoes throughout eternity.
"Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger."(8:2) It is the musings of a child that speak of the greatness of our God.
"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;"(8:3) The complexities of Creation overwhelm me, because I wonder how such a great God can even have time for me and my meditations.
"What is man, that thou are mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"(8:4) He took time out of His day to visit with Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, and He takes that same time to come and meet with us on a personal level.
"For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor."(8:5) All the forms of government were ordained by God and as we have been reminded in the New Testament, that we give to Caesar what is Caesar's. If it was not ordained by God; then it holds no power over us.
"Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of Thy hands; Thou hast put all things under his feet:"(8:6) We have been given charge of God's Creation, and to go against what He has spoken will only incur His wrath.
"All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field."(8:7) David continues tell of the things that God has given us charge over.
"The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas."(8:8) The waters of the deep hold many things that we have yet to discover, but even those are under our dominion. This earth holds many wonders and only our great God could create them. Order did not come from chaos, but it came from a God who knew every single detail.
"O Lord our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!"(8:9) So much to say and not enough words to describe the awesomeness of our God and Creator.
How excellent is thy name oh Lord
How excellent is Thy name
Heaven and earth together proclaim
How excellent is Thy name
How excellent is Thy name oh Lord
How excellent is Thy name
Heaven and earth together proclaim
How excellent is Thy name
I look into the midnight blue
And see the work You've done
Your children raise a perfect praise
While enemies hold their tongue
Creation shows Your splendor
Your reigning majesty
And yet I find You take the time
To care for one like me
One fine day when the trumpets play
And the dead in Christ will rise
The chosen few will gather to
Proclaim You Lord most high
With joyful Hallelujahs
The heavenly hosts will sing
Every knee shall bow, every tongue will shout
You're the King of Kings
(How Excellent is Thy Name- Larnelle Harris)
