Senior Citizen's Day!

A reporter was interviewing a 104 year-old woman:

THE PINK PALACE

There is a lady
You should know
Who lives in sunshine
Far from snow
Blushing crimson
By the sea
The oldest landmark
On Waikiki
Sandy beaches
Tiki's flame
The Pink Palace
Is her name
Come and visit
And if you do
"Aloha Nui"
Her gift to you.

READ: Psalm 8

O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth! —Psalm 8:1

At 3:00 one August morning, I awoke to experience a total lunar eclipse. It began at the precise moment the astronomers predicted and progressed just as they said it would. In one sense, it was a natural, recurring event, but it was also a phenomenal glimpse at the power and glory of God.

As the earth’s shadow crept slowly across a bright full moon, the psalmist’s words came to mind: “When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?” (Ps. 8:3-4).

Planet earth is not all about us, but by God’s design, it involves us. The psalmist marveled at the heavens, but he was more amazed that the great Creator, whose glory is above the heavens, included us in His grand plan for the ages.

To worship any part of God’s creation stops short of giving glory to the One who made it. The Bible lifts our eyes to see that all creation proclaims the glory of God, who has showered His grace and love on us through Christ.

“O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth!” (Ps. 8:1).

Fair is the sunshine, fairer still the moonlight,
And all the twinkling starry host;
Jesus shines brighter, Jesus shines purer
Than all the angels heaven can boast. —Anon.

God’s glory shines through His creation.

Bible in One Year: Ecclesiastes 7–9; Proverbs 18:13-24
