Psalm 8 - Creation & Stewardship.

Orion Nebula - NASA

This is Psalm 8 in my own words.

Oh Lord, our Lord, the greatness of your name fills the whole earth! (I see it in the trees, lakes, oceans, and flowers) Your beauty is higher than the heavens.

Babies and children know enough to praise you for the beauty in the world. (Every thing in nature makes them smile.)

When I look up at the night sky and see the work of your fingers - the moon and stars you have placed there - it tells me of your power. It is amazing such a powerful God looks down and loves us all.

For you have made us to be a little lower than yourself and you even gave us glory and honor. You put us in charge of everything you made, the sheep, cattle and all animals; the birds that fly, the fish in the sea and everything in the ocean.

O Lord, our Lord, the greatness of your name fills the whole earth!

Since sin has come into the world we have done a terrible job of being in charge of the earth and animals. The earth is now dying under pollution and we have treated animals as if they have no sense or feeling. Even when we found out we were destroying the atmosphere, we still kept on with our lifestyle. I'm afraid we will reap what we have sown.

"The earth is also polluted by its inhabitants, for they transgressed laws, violated statutes, broke the everlasting covenant." Isaiah 24:5
