Majesty and Mercy

Read:  Psalm 8 / Proverbs 1 / Hosea 6 / Revelation 8

 

Psalm 8:3,4 ~ When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars… What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Proverbs 1:7 ~ The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.

Hosea 6:6 ~ For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings.

Revelation 8:2 ~ I saw the seven angels which stood before God; and to them were given seven trumpets.

 

The majesty we see above

In all the stars of outer space

Is far exceeded by the love

Of Christ who visits us with grace!

 

The mercy that our God desires

Is found by those who fear His name,

For this is what our Lord inspires

And what angelic hosts proclaim.
