Bunkhouse Beacon – Psalm 8:1 says O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory in the heavens!

David begins this psalm not with a request, but with reverent awe. Standing under the vast night sky, he’s overwhelmed by the majesty of the Creator, the God who both flung galaxies into existence and knows his name. It’s a humbling realization: the One whose glory stretches beyond the heavens chooses to reveal Himself to us.

Here in Iron River, when the stars burn bright and the night air is still, you get a glimpse of what David saw. You can’t help but feel small, and yet deeply seen. God’s name is not only majestic in creation but also intimate in relationship.

The same Lord who commands the cosmos is “our Lord,” is personal and near.

That phrase, “O Lord, our Lord” actually anchors the psalm. It reminds us that worship begins with recognition: He is God, and we are not.

But He is not a distant deity; He is our Lord. That’s covenant language, relational, tender, and secure.

Stop for a moment, maybe even 10 minutes, and think about being amazed by God’s greatness.

Wherever you live, do you let creation turn your eyes toward the Creator and how beautiful he is?

Happy Friday, and may our beautiful God bless your endeavors today…
