O LORD our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Adonai, Savior, Abba, Immanuel, Redeemer, Deliverer, Yahweh, God our Rock, Logos, Counselor, Comforter, Advocate, Sanctifier, Shepherd, King of Kings, Creator, Prince of Peace, Everlasting God, Healer, Bread of Life, Refuge, Holy One, Alpha and Omega, I AM!

O LORD our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, 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, the son of man that you care for him? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8 emphasizes the power of the name of God.

We don’t have one name for God – we have many names to describe a God of awe. The different names we speak help us to describe our God – the power of our God – the love of God – the omnipotence of God.

We may not have a perfect way to describe God, but we can recognize the gifts given to us when we consider God’s heavens, the work of God’s fingers, the moon and the stars, which God has set in place. This is a God who has put everything under our feet!

God is so much more than a name! When I look at a star-filled sky or a vast body of water I feel so small. Then in the midst of that smallness there will suddenly emerge a realization of the vast number of possibilities. We are a part of something larger. We are a part of each other. We are a part of the earth. We are a part of the universe. All of these parts lead to an infinite number of possibilities.

My prayer is that God leads us and guides as us we embrace our possibilities!
