Not taking Earth for granted

11/29/11                                                                          Psalm 8

Scripture: Psalm 8:1, 3-8 O Lord,our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! When I consider your heavens, 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, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and heards, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 

Observation: This scripture is talking about what is read in Genesis where the Lord creates everything: The moon, sun, earth, land, sea, water, clouds, heaven, man, women, birds, fish, animals everything. Man is lower then the people that are in Heaven yet ruler of all things that God has created with his own hands. God is majestic in all of the earth.

Application: It seems to me in the hustle and bustle of life, we seem to take everything that God has created for us for granted. Yes, we are the ruler over the works of his hands, but when was the last time that you thanked God for everything that he has proved. Remember God did not have to give us water, if he felt that we did not deserved it, nor animals, moon or even a place for us to call home while we live out our human life. I honestly believe that when we are in our daily lives we don't take the time to stop, take a breath and enjoy life. We are only here for a short short time on earth, yet we are running around like chickens with our heads cut off, because the clock runs our lives. Have you ever took time to write down what you do during the day? Let me tell you the results might surprise you or they may not, I know that when I did the challenge last year, the results did not surprise me a whole lot, yet it surprise a few of my classmates. But getting back to my point, PRAISE GOD that we are given everything that we need to have to LIVE on this EARTH and Like anything we need to take care of our Home because we only get one.  

Prayer: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH, GLORIOUS Father!!!! You have given me with the work of your mighty hands a place to call home until I am called to come and live with you in Heaven. Please let us remember that yet we are in change of this place we need to take good care of it, so that this place will go over through many many many many many many generations. Our actions that we take today will effect the course of tomorrow, for tomorrow I hope to see another of you wonderful, beautiful, gloraise artwork that we get the pleasure of seeing twice daily. AMEN!
