Psalm 8 (NIV and TPT)
Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is your
name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
In the heavens.
When I consider your heavens,
The work of your
finger,
The moon and the
stars
Which you have set in
place,
What is mankind that
you are mindful of them
Human beings that you
care for them?
Yet, what honor you
have given to men,
Created only a little
lower than Elohim,
Crown with glory and
magnificence.
You have delegated
them
Rulership overall
you made,
With everything under
their authority,
Placing earth itself
under the feet of
Your image-bearers.
All of the created order
and every living thing
Of the earth, sky,
and sea –
The wildest beasts
and all that move in the
Paths of the sea –
Everything is in
submission to Adam’s sons.
Yahweh, our Sovereign
God,
Your glory streams
from heaven above,
Filling the earth
with the majesty of your name!
People everywhere see
your splendor!
*****
We human beings were
created by God to create.
He gave us all
authority
To rule and reign
over creation.
His glory fills the
earth in the sons.
The fractal pieces of
God
Are in human-kind.
Each individual has
such a unique part of the Creator
In Him and it shines
out
Whether they
recognize it or not.
Mankind placed a
little lower than angels.
Entrusting mankind to
rule over Creation
That you thought of
in heaven
Man (Adam) created
and named the forms here
On Earth.
I do not fully grasp
the magnitude of who I am,
Yet in some ways, I
do.
I am not – no-thing –
yet that is
Where all of creation
came from.
It is in this Vast
Mind of Christ that I reside.
It is also in me the
glory of Christ dwells.
I am humbled, yet
live
In the strong conviction
of
His unending love.
I AM WHO I AM because
He wells within Me.
