Day 133

The Values of Humans

psalm 8:1-9, NLT

prayER

Dear God, the Bible is your story, and I want to know you. Open my ears to hear your voice. Open my heart to receive your words as you speak to me through them. Open my eyes to see the wonderful truths in your instructions (Psalm 119:18, NLT). Quicken my step as I follow you. Amen.

O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!

Your glory is higher than the heavens.

You have taught children and infants

to tell of your strength,

silencing your enemies

and all who oppose you.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—

the moon and the stars you set in place—

what are mere mortals that you should think about them,

human beings that you should care for them?

Yet you made them only a little lower than God

and crowned them with glory and honor.

You gave them charge of everything you made,

putting all things under their authority—

the flocks and the herds

and all the wild animals,

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,

and everything that swims the ocean currents.

O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
