Hi! and happy good Tuesday to all of us, GUYS. Our "food for the soul" today:
THE GOOD NEWS (07 February 2017)
"When I observe the heavens,
the work of YOUR hands,
the moon and the stars YOU set in their place -
what is the mortal that YOU be mindful of him,
the son of man, that YOU should care for him?
Yet YOU made him a little lower than the angels;
YOU have crowned him with glory and honor.
YOU made him rule over the works of YOUR hands;
YOU have put all things under his feet -
sheep and oxen without number
and even the beasts of the field,
the birds of the air, the fish of the sea,
and all that swim the paths of the ocean."
- Psalm 8:4-9
(Our liberal culture knows only individuals, "human beings" eager to enjoy life at the level of their fortune and good health.
Individuals, being "pots of earth among other pots of earth," struggle to affirm their own identity. They dream of being totally independent. This psalm on the contrary emphasizes the dignity of the human person which awakens at the call of GOD and develops under HIS watchful eye.
The universe reveals the glory and the beauty of GOD. In becoming one of us, the Son of GOD has put humans above all material creation and emphasized the fundamental equality of all humans.)
