today's meditation (Psalm 8) Being Good Stewards

(Dear Lord Jesus, guide me and give me insight as I read and study Your word, and let it be the meditation of my heart...)

(Psalm 8:1-9)  Lord, our Lord,

     How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
     You who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
2   From the mouths of infants and nursing babies You have established strength 
     Because of Your enemies,
     To do away with the enemy and the revengeful.

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 think of him,
     And a son of man that You are concerned about him?
5   Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
     And You crown him with glory and majesty!
6   You have him rule over the works of Your hands;
     You have put everything under his feet,
7   All sheep and oxen,
     And also the animals of the field,
8   The birds of the sky, and the fish of the sea,
     Whatever passes through the paths of the seas.

9   Lord, our Lord,
     How majestic is Your name in all the earth!

TODAY'S THOUGHTS AND MEDITATION:
Our Lord and Savior created all things with splendor and majesty.  And then created us with a purpose and a value that is even greater than all those things.  On top of that, He allows us to govern these things.  
We may not be the best rulers, or grounds-keepers, or the greatest ambassadors, but He loves and cares for us, still.  He did not come to pay the price for all sin for nothing.  God's love and care for His children will never diminish!
I'm just so very thankful that God oversees us overseeing His creation.  Because He is Sovereign, no matter how badly mankind messes things up, God does and will step in where and when needed.  And always, we can ask for help and guidance - to be the best stewards of everything He has given to us!!!
