[Q1. Psalm 8]

Q1. (Psalm 8). What does this psalm teach about God? What does it teach about human beings? What does it teach us about Christ? What does it teach about our responsibilities?

1. He is our Lord; His name and reputation abounds on the earth and is higher than the heavens; He teaches children and infants about his strenght; He uses the small and helpless to silence His enemies; His handiwork speaks of His greatness; He formed humans; He crowned them/us with glory and honor;He put humanity in charge of everything He made.

Your comments helps me from a personal point of view right now; as I am having difficulty with some people in my life who have put themselves in a position of being God and see me as a weak baby that they have to overtake; rather than give strength to as God does. It gives me strength on dealing with them. Thanks.

I am particularly fascinated with the concept of our weaknesses contrasted with our enemies and a reminder that God is stronger than them (our enemies;) even in our weaknesses. It gives me confidence even when I am feeling overwhelmed by my enemies. That fits with the metaphor of our being so tiny and seemingly insignificant in this great world; yet God does not forget about us and is there as huge as ever - even in our greatest weaknesses!

How cool is that?

Hi, my name is Sandy and I am from southern California. I am an Episcopalian and this is my first time doing an online Bible Study. I am excited about it and looking forward to it. I have always been fascinated with the Psalms and did a visual arts presentation on Psalms for my church last year. I am very thankful to God for this opportunity! Blessings to all of you!
