Shalom,
I REALLY love our Spoken Word Bible Reading Plan! It takes us through the entire Bible, chronologically, reading Psalms and Proverbs and the four Gospels twice. I learn something new every time through! I hope that you will join us through this year! Today we read Psalm 8 and Matthew 8 and I LOVE both! Here is all of Psalm 8:
1 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth! You have set Your glory on [or above] the heavens. 2 Out of the mouths of babes and unweaned infants You have established strength because of Your foes, that You might silence the enemy and the avenger. 3 When I view and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained and established, 4 What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him? 5 Yet You have made him but a little lower than God [or heavenly beings], and You have crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet: 7 All sheep and oxen, yes, and the beasts of the field, 8 The birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatever passes along the paths of the seas. 9 O Lord, our Lord, how excellent (majestic and glorious) is Your name in all the earth!Notice in verse 5 that our GOD has made US just a little lower than Himself! And NOW, by the New Birth, we are recreated in HIS image! HALLELUJAH! He gave mand dominion over all things in the beginning, until Adam gave it away. JESUS bought it back and now WE have dominion and are supposed to TAKE that dominion as GOD's anointed vessels in this world! How EXCELLENT is HIS NAME in all the earth! Then we have the centurion in Matthew exercising more faith in Jesus than even His disciples did! What a poweful lesson! Keep putting the Word of God in and as Holy Spirit is able to teach you personally how to act on it, YOU will become a person of that same great faith! Here is Hillsong with "Say The Word"
Shalom in Him!
