Mindful Majesty

O Lord, our Lord,

robed in majesty.

Who hung the stars

and created the sea.

Glory surrounds

all that You’ve made to be.

How is it so,

that You’re mindful of me?

Crowned as Your kin,

with much under my feet?

May I serve well,

and bring honor to Thee.

May every act,

show the You that’s in me.

May I care well,

for the land and the sea.

For each treasure,

You’ve entrusted to me.

Teach me, Father,

I come on bended knee.

(Response to Psalm 8)

Dear Heavenly Father, thank You that though we are undeserving, You designed us in Your own image and have given us authority over the works of Your hands. Forgive us for taking our role too lightly, and please equip and empower us to be good stewards of all that You have given. May we honor You in all that we do – be it in our work, our play, and our praise – let Your proper place be evident in our everything. Teach us to trust You to lead us and guide us in the way that You want us to go, and to know that You won’t ask anything of us that You aren’t also going to strengthen us to accomplish. Use us as Your vessels Lord, to lead the lost to Your loving light. Amen.

    A question we ask over and over again. We can never fathom the deep love of God and why He should call “me” to Himself. How I praise Him for His calling and for the enormous change He has made in my life, and is still making.

    What an incredibly amazing God!
