He dwells in me ...

Psalms 8
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 [b]
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 [c]
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!

O Lord, my God ... You made us to be close to your very own heart. We are utterly precious in your sight for you made us to just be a little little lower than heaven beings. Nothing in our lives that is out of your reach. We are securely anchored in your grace and prescence. You ordained us to govern the world that you have created for us. How precious we are in your sight? How precious our indentities are in your plans? Lord, teach me to be someone who goes after your very own heart ...
