When I Consider . . . (Psalm 8:3-9)

 It’s not a sin to think. It’s just terrible to think wrong. The Psalmist is thinking ___ he calls it considering ___ and declares the result of such thinking. 

“When I consider your heavens,

the works of your fingers, the moon and stars you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him?”

 Well, it’s obvious that when the Psalmist got God in the right place, everything else fell into place. Your heavens, your moon, your stars, your people. God so fashioned the mind that. Given a moment to properly consider, God comes crashing into sight and everything else comes into proper perspective.

 We all think at one time or another that we are or should be in the top spot. The fact is that when we find God, we find that the spot God has for is better than “top”!

We are . . .

 A little lower than heavenly beings

 Crowned with glory and honor,

 Ruler over God’s projects, 

 Everything under his feet, animals of the field, birds of the air and all life in the sea.

 Such a job description! Not such a bad deal after all.

 Think about it! Often.

Hi Jack! Last night I couldn't sleep, so I prayed for you and others that came to mind. I decided to go to the computer to see if there was anything new happening in your part of the world. I was quite pleased to discover Coffee With Jack website, went to the blog entries and was NOT disappointed. Thanks for the effort you put into it. I guess coffeewithjack is the next best thing to having a personal visit. Greetings from Tal also. Liz

It's not about the place, but it is all about His presence.
