Scripture Passage: Psalm 8:1
“O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.” — Psalm 8:1 (ESV)
Psalm 8 opens with an exclamation of praise to God, inviting us to marvel at the majesty and splendor of His name. The psalmist, King David, stands in awe of God’s greatness, recognizing that His glory surpasses all of creation. This verse sets the tone for a psalm that leads us to worship, reminding us of the reasons why God is worthy of our praise.
The first reason we should worship God is for His majesty. The word “majestic” speaks of royalty, power, and greatness. God is not just a powerful ruler; He is the King of kings, sovereign over all the earth. His name, representing His character and authority, is exalted above everything else in creation. In a world filled with brokenness and chaos, it is comforting to know that God reigns in perfect majesty. He is unchanging and glorious, and this is reason enough for us to worship Him.
Secondly, we worship God because of His glory. David points out that God’s glory is not confined to the earth but is set “above the heavens.” His greatness extends far beyond what we can see or comprehend. When we look at the vastness of the universe—the stars, the planets, and galaxies beyond our imagination—it should inspire a sense of awe. All of creation reflects His glory, yet even this is but a glimpse of His infinite beauty.
Lastly, we worship God because He is personal. David begins by calling Him “our Lord.” This great and majestic God is not distant. He is personal, relational, and cares deeply for each of us. Despite His transcendent glory, He invites us to know Him intimately and experience His love.
In response to God’s majesty, glory, and personal care, let us lift up our hearts in worship, exalting His name above all things. He is truly worthy of all praise!
Prayer: Thank you Lord for the day of Worship and help us worship you in spirit and truth. Help us acknowledge who you are give you all the glory due unto you. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
