Advent 17

Today's goal is to look to the light in the heavens, and appreciate all that God has given us.  Contemplate the Psalm as you watch this visual meditation:

Psalm 8

1     O Lord, our Lord,

how majestic is thy name in all the earth!

Thou whose glory above the heavens is chanted

2     by the mouth of babes and infants,

thou hast founded a bulwark because of thy foes,

    to still the enemy and the avenger.

3 When I look at thy heavens, the work of thy fingers,

    the moon and the stars which thou hast established;

4 what is man that thou art mindful of him,

    and the son of man that thou dost care for him?

5 Yet thou hast made him little less than God,

    and dost crown him with glory and honor.

6 Thou hast given him dominion over the works of thy hands;

    thou hast put all things under his feet,

7 all sheep and oxen,

    and also the beasts of the field,

8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea,

    whatever passes along the paths of the sea.

9 O Lord, our Lord,

    how majestic is thy name in all the earth!
