How Excellent

Sacred Journey Devotionals: A Journey To Wholeness

Greetings, Precious Family:

I pray that this week’s devotional finds you in a place of peace and joy in the Lord. As the old song lyrics say, “This joy that I have, the world didn’t give it and the world can’t take it away!” I believe Reverend Shirley Ceasar wrote that song, as I can only find her name as the author and composer.

We are right in the middle of the last quarter of the year for 2023. The world’s focus will slowly begin turning to the Christmas season. The birth of the only begotten of God is approaching. The perfect little lamb without spot, blemish, or sin has willingly taken off his godly robe to become a human being, but at the same time still continuing to be King of Kings and Lord of Lord’s.

As we approach the celebration of the birth of our Lord and Savior, may we meditate on the never-ending love that Jesus had and still has for us. We can sing with confidence, Oh Lord, Our Lord, how EXCELLENT is your name in all the earth. Hallelujah!!!

Scriptures of Adoration

Psalm 8

New International Version

For the director of music. According to gittith.[b] A psalm of David.

Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory
    in the heavens.
2 Through the praise of children and infants
    you have established a stronghold against your enemies,
    to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens,
    the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
    which you have set in place,
4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
    human beings that you care for them?[c]

5 You have made them[d] a little lower than the angels[e]
    and crowned them[f] with glory and honor.
6 You made them rulers over the works of your hands;
    you put everything under their[g] feet:
7 all flocks and herds,
    and the animals of the wild,
8 the birds in the sky,
    and the fish in the sea,
    all that swim the paths of the seas.

9 Lord, our Lord,
    how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Song of Adoration and Praise
