HIS GLORY
O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens! – Psalm 8:1 NKJV
God’s power and glory are incredible and on display in all His creation. The number eight means new beginnings and our God is the God of new beginnings. He creates all things for His glory and our good!
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, And You have crowned him with glory and honor. – Psalm 8:3-5 NKJV
This Psalm says the heavens, the moon, and the stars are the work of God’s fingers. You can sit and meditate on that aspect alone, but there is so much more. The number eight is the number God uses to illustrate resurrection. It has to do with new birth, new life, and new creation. When God preaches on redemption and when He makes things alive again, He likes to use the number eight in His language.
Then He who sat on the throne said, “Behold, I make all things new.” And He said to me, “Write, for these words are true and faithful.” – Revelation 21:5 NKJV
Nobody loves new beginnings more than your Maker. He is the God of the second chance, and the third, and the 490th chance (70 x 7; Matthew 18:22). While a western mind tends to think in terms of dispensations or quick, abrupt leaps from one thing to another, a Middle Eastern mind thinks in terms of gradual change through cycles and seasons. God does both. He loves to do things in cycles while consistently advancing and progressing His people into all things brand new.
Declaration: For the joy of the Lord is my strength and He makes all things new. I will trust God to always show me His ways as I walk out my destiny on this Earth.
