Psalm 8

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 works 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 then 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 the flocks and herds,
and beasts of the field,
the birds of the air,
the 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!

This day I am thankful for the opportunity to read these words, for the chance to take in His majesty. Thankful that I have been given the opportunity to impact this world for the God who David wrote in awe of, for the God who's majesty is indescribable!

Begining the Journey

Well, In our home we pray normally before meals and at bed time. My Husband and I for whatever reason have not made it a point to pray regularly together or as a family. I know how vital this is in our walk, yet for some reason we still don't make it happen. I will have every good intention of doing so and still set it on a shelf...

Just this past Monday began the journey of more regular prayer time for us, Praise God! With dinner done house quickly picked up we met in the living room with soft music on, all ready to read from Gods Word and then Pray together. We read in Philippians, due to this being a difficult financial and emotional time for us. Then we did it...from his daddy chair he suggested we also add something about today that we were thankful for! Amazing what happens when we let down our guard, open up, being honest with Christ and yes, each other too!

Next night we would meet there again in our family devotion/prayer spot, cuddled together with pillows and blankets. This time Daddy reads from Philippians and we listen to what our heavenly father has for us this night. We are tired tonight, much yawning and squirming but we listen then pray...together!

So our journey of prayer together begins...
