Text:  Psalm 8

 

God’s Universal Praise Displayed (8:1)

The majesty and glory of God’s name fills all that He has made. This universal praise is the purpose for which we were created.

 

God’s Strength Declared through Man’s Weakness (8:2-4)

God has chosen to display His strength toward His enemy through the weakness of man. God, the Preeminent One has chosen to condescend to us and care for us.

 

Man’s Dominion Granted by God (8:5-8)

God has entrusted man with stewardship and dominion over what He has made in creation. This refers to the vice-regency God gave Adam at creation (Genesis 1:28)

 

God’s Universal Praise Reprised (8:9)

God’s praise resounds at the end of this psalm just like it began. God’s glory will be displayed as Jesus, the Son of God defeats Satan, sin, and death on the cross and the resurrection. He is worthy of all praise!
