Encouragement: When I look up

Here is your daily encouragement words and thoughts. Today I bring you encouragement from Psalm 7

Psalm 7:1 O Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!
You reveal your majesty in the heavens above!
2 From the mouths of children and nursing babies
you have ordained praise on account of your adversaries,
so that you might put an end to the vindictive enemy.
3 When I look up at the heavens, which your fingers made,
and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,
4 Of what importance is the human race, that you should notice them?
Of what importance is mankind, that you should pay attention to them,
5 and make them a little less than the heavenly beings?
You grant mankind honor and majesty;
6 you appoint them to rule over your creation;
you have placed everything under their authority,
7 including all the sheep and cattle,
as well as the wild animals,
8 the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
and everything that moves through the currents of the seas.
9 O Lord, our Lord,
how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!

Last night was a very nice evening. The warmth of summer filled the air and there were no mosquitoes. The moon was near full last night and was in the extreme southern sky it always looks so large when it tracks across the southern Sky. It never ceases to amaze me the clock work of the heavens. Everything moves with such precision and with such beauty. And the stars they are just so many all in their place. The psalmist says you made all these things and set them in place. One can only gaze with awe and wonder with all of creation that You our God should do what you have done for us. We are so small in the big picture yet you care for us. Yes Lord, "O Lord, our Lord,how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth!"

Amen
