[[-SOAP HUB]] | [[-Psalm Overview]] | [[Psalm 08]] ## Title: Creation Shows the Goodness of God ## Scripture: (Psalm 8:1) “For the music director, according to the gittith style; a psalm of David. O Lord, our Lord, how magnificent is your reputation throughout the earth! You reveal your majesty in the heavens above.” (NET) ## Observation: In Genesis, the Bible says that God created something out of nothing. Then, like a lump of clay, the Lord began molding it into something beautiful. When it was all done, He said it was very good. When we see creation now, we are always seeing an expression of His goodness. When we see a beautiful sunrise or sunset, that is God’s goodness on display through the beauty of creation. When we see a mountain view or a beautiful meadow of grass, this is God’s beauty on display. When we look up at the night sky and see all the stars, we can see His goodness on display. Think about this: Why would He do it that way? God could have made creation so much different and less glorious. It’s possible He made creation in such a way that we would always be surrounded with His goodness and be reminded every day that He is good and His goodness extends to us, too. ## Application: Take a moment and look around at creation today. Then, remember the same God who made that loves you. ## Prayer: Thank You, Jesus, for surrounding us with reminders of Your goodness.
