Psalm 8

This morning I was reading Psalm 8 and it just reminded me of what I wrote the other day and how I often feel when I get the chance to get outdoors and walk among creation.

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?

The psalmist after considering the beauty of the world around him and of man himself has only one possible response to praise God for his amazing gift.

O LORD, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!

This is why I love to hike or walk outside. To be reminded of this and to join the psalmist in his adoration.
