How Excellent Is God's Name

Daily Devotions:

Psalms 8:1-9 KJV
1 To the chief Musician upon Gittith, A Psalm of David. O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! who hast set thy glory above the heavens.
2 Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts of the field;
8 The fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas.
9 O LORD our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

Who is God in the since of deciding our fate, our eternity, and our future? God set man's destiny long before he created him to be caretaker over his creation. God established his role in our life long before we were even made. When he gave man instruction it was for his glory that he provided a task for him. When you go to work from 9 to 5 you learn quickly that your boss already has plans for you. The boss that allows you much independence when working, only allows because the job demands it, without the independence task would take twice as long and you would have so much red tape to dal with no one would get a thing done. Yet those jobs that the boss has to stay on top of 24/7 is only a boss that never sleeps. God is in control of intire universe, some of us seek God continually, others are more independent from God but still worship God. Stars are independent, but the human race is still in need of the 24/7 boss and always well be.

When God design the world he put the stars and moon in the sky and gave them a task to tell the seasons. The function of simply on of God's components of creation. A star less important in many ways then a human's life, after all does not heaven and earth pass away and become new at the end of time as we know it and a new heaven and earth will be. Is science not looking for a planet to inhabit? Were these things possible at the time in which it was orignally said. No. How much has God allowed man to understand about creation of the world he created and even prophesied of future possibilities? This is for those that believe aliens are real perhaps. We stand and look at the stars and yet God placed them there for man to understand he designed them for a purpose, a purpose set forth long before man understood these things. Farmer and sailor depend on the the signs in the sky, while those in the city rarely see the stars because of the lights.

Yet the function of God's creation continue to report to man daily of current events that plague our world like the corona virus updater. The flu tracker becoming more wide spread then tornado radar doppler report. Only to tell science what they already know they have no way of controlling the virus or when it will attack someone. For it shows up in many locations and rare locations that only causes more of a concern. It is the plague that science has yet to figure how to control, or to end, though they can help in healing, and protection, it is the mystery of plagues and storms in our world that causes people to cry to God for a solution and a miracle. At the same time the world stares and watch, and wonders why some live an others die in different areas around the globe. When I say plague, God creation results are not a plague, but the constant advertising of the news for 2020 on the corona virus is driving me insane. Because when the mega plague comes, and it well because it has in the past, man will ignore the truth of information on it and run right into it, with no regards for others around them they might infect. It is the snow report, that are forcasted by the signs in our sky that tell us what might lay ahead that is advantage, but it is also the thing we can not change ourselves, we have to take it has it comes.

There is point if God puts in creation into motion and yet he gives man task to care for his creation. The only way to protect our universe in the sky is to lower polution and below the earth surface and not to create toxins that will destroy the soil we so badly need for growing plant life. Our synthetics are often the cause of our destruction, but in some cases the real mccoy is just as dangerous. God allowed these thing to be harmful, for us to learn how to created things of value and not destruction. God's plan for man to care for the earth, do we do it? Have any question about God reason for creating man read Genesis 1:26.

God set the us lower then the angels, but at the same time he created us to rule over his creation. He gave us a task of servanthood, only to enable us to be kings and queens in heaven, if we would believe and repent(turn from sin). Who is this God who is over all creation. He has a name that is excellent. He is a God that remains boss over the universe, and yet continues to watch over man, giving them assignment to work, to earn to care for those around about them.

God not control freak, he created and designed and expects it to function has it should but on earth he knows it will not, because man fails to obey, listen, to do his will. Those bosses that higher independent people know that they will have double the work if that worker can not do their job. The boss that watches constantly is making sure you do it. Where are you in faith are you doing God's work only to have to be monitor every moment, or you doing God's work independently, only to discover God maybe should give man more hours in a day. Then we have to ask what is God's way. God intend man to work, but not without rest. He never intended man to run like the energizer bunny. He intended man to enjoy the world he created for man, despite his sin. The beauty of God's world will take our breath at times as we look at the valley from the mountaintop, or see the little stream that flows through the city, that grew up, around and over it. God uses earth has a training ground for heaven, as well as place to teach us the difference of him in charge and devil in charge. God's perfect world is all to do the task he assigns them. His creation in submission to him as the stars are. Doing their assigned task, because that was God's plan for what he created.

I making a crochet butterfly out of scrap yarn, it sad really because I wondering if I will get it done. The design is so it can roll the wings up and then it become a catepillar when finished, only to be able to unroll it to be a catepillar once more. Now if I give that butterfly/catepillar to a child, he may decide the body of the catepillar belongs on his foot or hand and is a better puppet. God created us and though he allows suffering heart ach and sorrow, when our life is over as beleivers we are no longer in this world of sin, we are given a new body, a new place to live, and a world without sorrow. All these things that we no longer need, to understand God's grace for man. The time of sin will be over and world of blessings and continual hope will exist.

As I watch the House of Representatives rememberance of Representative Elijah Cummings I was amazed at somethings I learn about his love for children and compassion to make their world better then what is and was. He desire improvements for the world he lived in. He seen the hope of the children of the generation coming up. God created us and we are his children coming up to be in heaven with Him one day, living as kings and queens. Because of our goaled to make our world brighter here, heaven has potential, not because of man's ability but the God that created us to have that ability to work to play as God orignally planned with no heart ache or sorrow. He did not create his creation to do nothing. Even the one that lays in bed has a purpose, his roll teaching us that God never planned for man to be there 24/7. And that person needs tender loving care daily. How excellent is his name in all the earth.

Dear Heavenly Father how excellent is your name, for you created and designed us to grow, learn and become the people of heaven. In Jesus precious name, Amen.
