Passage: Psalm 8:1-9* (today focusing on verses 7-8) For the director of music. According to gittith . A psalm of David. 1. O LORD , our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. 2. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. 3. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4. what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? 5. You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. 6 You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: 7. all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, 8. the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. 9. O LORD , our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! Question How much power does God have?   Practical help We take for granted that God is all powerful. It's obvious, right? The problem for taking God's power for granted is that we don't think about it. Just like we don't think about gravity, it being so obvious and pervasive. Maybe we porn strugglers need to meditate on the obvious, namely God's all-powerfulness. Verses 7-8 above point the way. They remind us that God rules over all things. All flocks and herds. All beasts of the field. All birds of the air. All fish of the see. All that swim the paths of the seas. The more we read through Scripture, the longer the list gets. What doesn't God have power over? Your porn struggle? Nope. He can whip that. Ask him to. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2003 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version, © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
