A Little Thankfulness

I recently started the "Reading the Bible in One Year" program, which consists of an Old testament, New Testament, and Psalm every day. I had planned on doing a 90 day reading plan this summer, but I need something now, so I decided on this. Chris is doing the 90 day plan- which is intense.

This is today's Psalm. I read it after reading a few of the miracles Jesus performs in Luke. It is such a wonderful reminder to be thankful for all that God has given us, and to praise his name. The bolded parts are the ones that jumped out at me. We have such an amazing Heavenly Father who would put the world in our hands. How awesome!

Psalm 8:1-9
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.

3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?

5 You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.

6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet:

7 all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.

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