Daily Devotional: Psalms 8:6-9

Ps 8:6-9


Heb 2:6-9


In the creation of this world, God made man and then exalted him above all the rest of creation. This world and all that is in it is here for our good and our service. The earth is made to simply house mankind and all the rest of creation was made for our existence. This is opposite of the modernist view that says we are to serve the earth. (This is really a strange belief in light of their foundation belief that everything we know as matter happened by accident and evolved into the world as we know it today. Why would one serve an accident as god?)

In the first chapter of the book of Hebrews, the writer shows beyond doubt that Jesus is greater than the angels. Even the most exalted heavenly beings are there to minister to God but Jesus is the Son of God.


Heavenly Father, It is so easy to take things for granted. Each day goes on as the day before it and life just seems to continue, year after year. Yet, I know you are in control and there is coming a day when my life will end and I will face you in judgment. Keep my faith in you and in Jesus as your Son strong so I will always strive to live for you and be what you want me to be. Forgive me when I fail. Keep me from being selfish and using what you give me on myself instead of helping those in need. Lord, it is hard to watch as friends and family suffer so I ask you to be with each one in your own special way. I pray in the name of Jesus.
