Psalm 8
O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory above the heavens.
Out of the mouths of babes and infants
you have founded a bulwark because of your foes,
to silence the enemy and the avenger.
When I look at your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars that you have established;
what are human beings that you are mindful of them,
mortals that you care for them?
Yet you have made them a little lower than God,
and crowned them with glory and honour.
You have given them dominion over the works of your hands;
you have put all things under their feet,
all sheep and oxen,
and also the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,
whatever passes along the paths of the seas.
O Lord, our Sovereign,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Here we see the Psalmist gobsmacked by God in what is a fabulous song of joy and acknowledgement the God and Creator of the universe... loves us.
Sunday was Trinity Sunday: a day where we try to fathom the mystery and magnitude of the limitless, eternal God with our finite, limits of language.
Beyond complex doctrinal formulations, let's catch hold of a little of the Psalmist's wonder at God's love.
The picture is of an ancient Celtic Christian symbol for the Trinity:
one unbroken loop with three distinct sections.
Imagine yourself in the centre of this image surrounded by the love of God:
Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
How does it feel to know you are surrounded
by the love and care of God?
As you go about your week, remember that God delights in you
