How tragic it is when we do not recognize the glory of God. The Pslamist declared " how excellent is Yôur name in all the earth... your glory above the heavens!" Caution!! It's easy to lose the wonder and amazement of how big God is and how very small we are. Consider the question in this Psalm 8:1-19 what is man that You are mindful of him?v4. How does the infinite God of the universe take interest in finite humanity? When we lose our wonder of God, we no longer ponder thoughts like this.
Think for a moment about a child. Children haven't lost the wonder. They still have the capacity to be amazed, to believe, and to see. They have not been distracted yet by the cheap illusions of this present world. In verse 2 , there is a reference to children and their ability to recognize God's glory: " Out if the mouths of babes and nursing infants You have ordained strength." Jesus mentioned this verse after healing the blind and lame in the temple. The children began shouting , Hosanna to the son of David". And the religious leaders sharply criticized the children. Jesus quoted Psalm 8:2 defending the pure praise of these little ones Matthew 21:15-16. They saw what others tragically did not see: that is, the glory of God.
We must never lose the wonder of the name and fame of God and His glory, the wonder of Him being mindful of us and desiring a relationship with us. Let this cause you to wonder: God is so big that the earth is unable to contain His glory and greatness, yet He is small. Enough to take residence in our hearts. THIS IS AMAZING! God, how excellent is Yôur name in ALL the earth!
For it is WITH God all things are possible
