King David’s encounter with God Lessons from Psalms #1: King David’s encounter with God Psalm 8

“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!...” Psalm 8:1. Let’s Pray…

Psalm 8 King David speaks as a convert, as a prophet as a theologian. I. First of all David Looks Back ‘In this psalm David marvelled that the glorious Lord of heaven, whose name is excellent, should graciously use people in the earth’s dominion’ John F Walwoord/Roy B. Zuck, The Bible Knowledge Commentary, SP Publications, 1985, p797

“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth “Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.” Psalm 8:1 (NIV) O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth! 

“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,” Psalm 8:3 (NIV)

II. Then David Looks Down “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them” Psalm 8:4 (NIV)

6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: 7 all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, 8 the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Psalm 8:6-8 (NIV)

And I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will crush your head, and you will strike his heel.” Genesis 3:15 (NIV)

Because of His astonishing divine mercy, because of His love for us. What is man? Why should God be so kind to us? Because of His astonishing divine mercy, because of His love for us.

III. David Looks Forward. “The description of God “walking” (mithallek) in the garden suggests the enjoyment of fellowship between Him and Adam and Eve”. https://www.epm.org/resources/2010/Mar/29/gen-38-sufficient-establish-god-was-habit-visiting/ David wants to honour this awesome God, he wants to serve Him, he wants to have a personal relationship with the God creator of heaven and earth

Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth Lord, our Lord,     how majestic is your name in all the earth! Psalm 8:9 (NIV)

Manhattan, New York, pastor Tim Keller once said that in 1970 a Sunday school teacher changed his life with a simple illustration. The teacher said, "Let's assume the distance between the earth and the sun (92 million miles) was reduced to the thickness of this sheet of paper. If that is the case, then the distance between the earth and the nearest star would be a stack of papers 70 feet high. And the diameter of the galaxy would be a stack of papers 310 miles high." Then Keller's teacher added, "The galaxy is just a speck of dust in the universe, yet Jesus holds the universe together by the word of his power." Finally, the teacher asked her students, “Now, is this the kind of person you ask into your life to be your assistant?” https://www.preachingtoday.com/illustrations/2012/march/5031212.html

The Bible teaches that God may be approach exclusively through His only begotten Son. Jesus alone is the way to the Father, He is the truth, He wants to give us a new spiritual life. “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6 (NIV)
