How wonderful is your name, O LORD! Psalm 8: 1 – 5

How wonderful is your name, O LORD

Your glory is seen everywhere on earth. When I see the world that you have made, I see how great you are. When I see clouds piled up higher than mountains, I see how great you are. When I see the full, yellow moon at night and millions of stars in the sky, I see how great you are. How can you even care about us? We are so small compared to the moon and the stars. But you love us. You made us like you. And you made us the boss over everything on earth. Cats and dogs can’t tell us what to do. Even lions and tigers run and hide from us. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name over all the earth!

Have the Attitude of Christ [Philippians 2: 5 -11]

You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. Though he was God, he did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. Instead, he gave up his divine privileges; he took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When he appeared in human form, he humbled himself in obedience to God and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honour and gave him the name above all other names, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father..

He has sent us a mighty Saviour from the royal line of his servant David,

just as he promised through his holy prophets long ago.

Now we will be saved from our enemies and from all who hate us.

He has been merciful to our ancestors by remembering his sacred covenant

the covenant he swore with an oath to our ancestor Abraham.

We have been rescued from our enemies so we can serve God without fear,

In holiness, and righteousness for as long as we live.

“And you, my little son,will be called the prophet of the Most High,

because you will prepare the way for the Lord. You will tell his people how to find salvation through forgiveness of their sins. Because of God’s tender mercy,

the morning light from heaven is about to break upon us, to give light to those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide us to the path of
