The Glory of the Lord in Creation
To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath.
A Psalm of David.
8
O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!
2
Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.
When
I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
4 What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
5 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your
hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
7 All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
8 The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

There is a battle going on
which has been raging for millennium. This battle is the battle
between Good and Evil within each and everyone of us. How we choose
to fight that battle determines the outcome of our lives. Some ignore
it by denying that it even exists. Others are so preoccupied by it
that they fail to enjoy the gift of life to it's fullest. For many of
us the battle goes on beneath our radar because of our primary focus
on our material needs: Food , housing, clothing etc... We can also
become overly concerned with our material wants: Things which we do
not really need but which we perceive as necessities which improve
our quality of life. Sometimes we have to make hard choices which put
those needs and wants in direct conflict with our conscience.
I feel that we are at a
period in our collective existence where great changes are occurring
in both the natural and spiritual realms. These changes have a direct
impact on our ability to make sound decisions regarding our spiritual
needs.
I have made a choice to
try and shift the focus of my efforts to achieve a greater balance
between the material and spiritual needs of my circle of influence (
family, friends, brethren...).
I have decided that I can
no longer sit idle while lives are being lost due to greed, lies, and
general confusion. I will be making a greater effort to speak the
word of God and teach what The Lord has taught me. I have decided to
get off the fence. I know that some of the things that I say may
bother or offend some people but my duty is to the truth of the Word
of God and not the glorification of man.
So I invite you to come
along on this journey with me and let us see what we learn together.
God Bless you and this
Ministry in Jesus' Name
Amen.
