(Psalms 8:1-9) To the choirmaster: according to The Gittith.
A Psalm of David. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and
infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy
and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the
moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are
mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him
a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor.
You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all
things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the heavens, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the
paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the
earth!
(Romans 1:20) For his invisible attributes, namely, his
eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the
creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without
excuse.
God is not hiding. He has made who He is and what He is
obvious and plain to see by everyone since the very beginning. No one has any
excuse not to believe in God or not to attribute all glory to Him. Even those
who never have the gospel clearly explained to them or who are never properly
educated in the scriptures know of God's existence through the work of His
mighty glory.
Unbelief is a smokescreen for rebellion. Those who do not
want to honor God and give Him the glory that is due His name, claim not to
believe.
Thank the Father today for clearing the smoke and opening the
eyes of your heart to acknowledge His glory and honor. Thank the Father today
for giving you a heart to not only believe in Him but to have faith in Him.
Thank the Father today for saving you!
Questions for Discussion
Why do unbelievers not believe?
Can you convince an unbeliever to believe?
Why does this give believers greater reason to thank the
Father?
