What Is Man?
August 29, 2005 9:32 am
I spent time in my quiet time this morning reviewing Psalm 8. What a glorious passage. Of course I thought of the chart Mr. Layman showed us on the retreat. It’s good for my soul to think about this stuff often. Mr. Layman quoted John Piper: “Man is starving for the greatness of God.” Let’s have a snack, shall we?
If you weren’t there, the chart above may not make a lot of sense. Ask someone who went to explain it to you. If you were there, get your notes out! Isn’t this a wonderful reminder of the greatness of God? And we’re not just specks, we’re rebellious specks. For me, this makes the saving work of Jesus Christ on our behalf all the more glorious!
“When I look at the heavens, at 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?” Psalm 8:3-4.
“O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” Psalm 8:9.
