Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above (Psalm 8:1, CEV).

Reflection
This week’s I Love the Psalms theme is glory.
Last May at the close of the day, I snapped this photo through the window of a bullet train (shinkansen) as it raced through the Japanese countryside.
I think the verse from the psalm fits beautifully with the picture. Our LORD and Ruler, your name is wonderful everywhere on earth! You let your glory be seen in the heavens above (Psalm 8:1, CEV).
The LORD is ruler over all and no matter where you live–on every continent–His name is wonderful. Some of the most loving, committed Christian believers I know live in Japan.
The LORD lets us see His glory in the heavens, but it’s also reflected on the earth. In the photo the flooded rice paddy reflects the sky, so the LORD’s glory is reflected by all of creation and especially by his people.
Response: LORD God, this week help me to reflect your glory to those around me. I want my life and actions to shine for you. Fill me with the love of Jesus. Amen.
Your Turn: How can you reflect the glory of God as you go about your day?
I love the Psalms

Thanks, Vincent.
You’re welcome David!
I love your “response” as it affirms my prayer since yesterday for the rest of this week and beyond.
I want to live life from my spirit/ Spirit of Christ within me because my goal is to reflect His glory to those around me always (not just some of the time).
I say, “Amen!” to your prayer.
Praise God!
Thanks for coming into agreement with me.
Today as I was watering I looked in my flower bed and saw that the tulips had started to sprout, their green leaves breaking through the surface, made me think about all the wonderful things God has done for me that even though they could not be seen that in their season they will show the glory of His love for me.
I love the thought of tulips sprouting. We have two feet of snow on our tulip beds here in Ottawa. But you are right. Something is happening under ground that will break forth to God`s glory in its time.
