Majestic sandwich - Lent 8

Imagine having a 'majestic sandwich?' Of course I am not speaking of a real 'Subway' sandwich, I am speaking in a spiritual sense. In fact, it may do us good to eat some heavenly food for a moment and leave the fattening stuff til later.

David starts and ends Psalm 8 with the same phrase, thus sandwiching a lot of good stuff in the middle. This is the outer part of the sandwich:

"O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!" - v.1 & 9

In the middle he reflects on the glory of God, the creation, humanity and so on - all the works of His hands. God has certainly made a lot of awesome things over time! The challenge is that God has left us to be stewards of all of these and often we forget the important role we can play in God's world. 

May we challenged this Lenten period to be good stewards of what God has made.
