This was one of those AHH moments! I really am enjoying Leviticus Land like I never have before. God has shown me so much through these chapters I look forward each day to see what the next step is in their prepartion to enter their Promise Land. It seems that in God's perfect planning He has taken it one step at a time beginning with the Covenant, and progressing through the instructions for the Tabernacle and sacrifices, construction of the tabernacle to purification, to sanctification. Up to instructions for Holy living. WOW what a God of organization! Lev 18:6 “You must never have sexual relations with a close relative, for I am the LORD.

David stands amazed that the God of creation would pay any attention to frail people on earth. "What is man?" is ultimately answered by Jesus Christ. Apart from knowing God, we have no understanding of we are or what we are to do in this great universe. God Created Us (Vs. 1-2,5a). God didn't need us, yet He created us and prepared a wonderful world for us. Our purpose is to glorify God. If we leave God out of our lives, we miss life's greatest opportunity. God Cares for us (vs.3-4). "Man" in verse 4 is enosh, "weak man," and "son of man" is "son of adamah- son of the earth, earth-born" (Gen. 2:7). Both titles emphasize the weakness and frailty of humankind. God Crowns Us (vs 5-8). Today He is on the throne in heaven and all things are "under his feet". The phrase means "completely subjected to Him" Through the exalted Christ, God's grace is reigning today so that God's children may "reign in life" through Jesus Christ. When one crowns Jesus Christ Lord of all, you are a victor and not a victim. "Oh Lord, our Lord, how excellent is your name in all the earth!". Oh Ladies, don't we all feel weak at times. But thanks be to God that He is our power source and we are victors in Christ. I stand amazed as well. Oh Glory! Ps. 8

Today when reading Wendy's post and got to the definitions I was so taken up with one that I wrote it in tiny print in my bible. Then I started reading the rest of the post and saw that it was the one that jumped out at Wendy too. I'm guessing I'm not alone on this. Love all your postings Sisters! ~blessings!~ Sorry Laura, I’m not recognizing that particular song of Sandi’s but I’ll ‘youtube’ it next though.

The word that jumped out at me in this Psalm is also from verse 3 "...the work of your fingers." I imagined God holding each thing He created in His hand and touching/molding it with His fingers. How delicate His touch must have been to create a butterfly or flower. How strong His fingers were to lift up the mountains! Love thinking that God thought about and touched each detail of all that we see...including me!!! Morning everyone!

I've read through them many times but they are really coming to life through this study! He meets each of us where we are and with exactly what we need! Thank you Wendy for being such a great teacher/leader through this. I can hear Sandi Patty singing verse 1 every time I read it - anyone else remember that song? I am loving the Psalms study!

I know I am weird but before now I was never drawn to the Psalms. Sure there are a few verses that I know and have put to heart but there also seemed to me to be a lot of whining in them. But how you have opened my heart the words sweet Wendy. I wasn't sure how we could possibly spend a week on each Psalm but it has been so wonderful!!

Truly He recognizes us because it was He who lovingly, adoringly fashioned us to be who we are before we breathed our first breath. How He must long to see us again face to face and how we must hurt Him when we choose to step away form Him! Thanks for your insight! Your sister Val!
