Most High to me is a phrase that denotes the true power and glory of God. It is not a phrase I use in my own particular worship relationship not because it is not something I recognize as truth, rather it is the concept of "most high" that brings me to my knees in awe when viewing the splendor of nature or experiencing a miracle of faith.

Psalms 8 reminds us of the infinite glory and power of God and the insignificance of man in the grand context of life. When compared to grandure of God's creation - above (heaven) and below (earth) - our finite human accomplishments are insignificant. And given this, it makes me wonder what grace God's confidence in us to preserve and steward the earth truly is - especially given the lousey job humans have been doing lately! It also speaks to our need to steward God's creation responsibly, to protect and serve the earth and its inhabitants in the selfless way Jesus showed. The question is - what does that mean in the 21st Century? It is one thing to contemplate God's Word however the true power of words is when they are put into action - the Word made flesh. How can we "make the word flesh" when it comes to honoring the confidence God has in us to steward the land? One simple way is to recycle trash - how simple is that! From my experience, the power of the gospel comes alive when we put the "word" in action and in relation to Pslams 8, action is simple - just take a gander at a cold, clear winter night on the high plains of Colorado and the sense of awe and wonder of David expreesed in Psalms 8 is yours!
