Amazing God 2

Continuing our look at Job 38-41 where the Lord speaks to Job about His creative power. There is a list of about 24 areas where He lists the things he has done. I am listing all 24 - 6 at a time:

Job 38:22 He has a treasure house for snow and hail.

Imagine this - every snowflake throughout all the ages

has been designed and stored in God's secret storehouse!

Job 38:24 He sets the course for light and wind

Job 38:25 He sets the course for lightning

Job 38:26-27 He waters all the earth

and causes things to grow

Job 38:28-29   He created all the waters and ice

Job 38:31-33 He commands the stars

and constellations

Psalm 8

(New Living Translation)

O LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!Your glory is higher than the heavens.You have taught children and nursing infants to give you praise.

They silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers --

the moon and the stars you have set in place --

what are mortals that you should think of us,

mere humans that you should care for us?

For you made us only a little lower than God,

and you crowned us with glory and honor.

You put us in charge of everything you made,

giving us authority over all things --

the sheep and the cattle and all the wild animals,

the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,

and everything that swims the ocean currents.

O LORD, our Lord, the majesty of your name fills the earth!

Psalm 8

(The Message)

God, brilliant Lord, yours is a household name.

Nursing infants gurgle choruses about you;

toddlers shout the songs That drown out enemy talk,

and silence atheist babble.

I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous,

your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings.

Then I look at my micro-self and wonder,

Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way?

Yet we've so narrowly missed being gods,

bright with Eden's dawn light.

You put us in charge of your handcrafted world,

repeated to us your Genesis-charge,

Made us lords of sheep and cattle, even animals out in the wild,

Birds flying and fish swimming, whales singing in the ocean deeps.

God, brilliant Lord, your name echoes around the world.
