Focus Verse: Psalm 8:1
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Commentary: As Jesus neared the city Jerusalem, he would have gazed upon the majestic beauty of God's mountainous creation. Perhaps the beauty of creation helped him feel the presence of God and gave him comfort as he wept over the city and future he "sees" for his people.
Psalm 8 celebrates creation and when we pray we can join the psalmist thanking and praising God. It is a lovely song to pray with!
Reflection: How does the beauty of the natural world help you feel God's presence? How should we care for God's creation? How does God comfort you when you are weeping?
If music is a spiritual pathway for you, listen to Shane & Shane's beautiful arrangement of Psalm 8.
Intercessory & Breath Prayer:
Creating God, thank you for creating such beauty in nature. Help us know how to care for your creation to ensure it for future generations.
Breathing in … God of the Earth
Breathing out … Hear our Prayer
