When first reading Psalm 8‚ it reminds me of God’s majesty and how the significance of my life will be measured by my relationship with God. The second thing it reminds me of is‚ when I live in the light of God‚ I will better understand the purpose of my life and where I fit into His plan. If I live my life for Him‚ my life will take on the meaning He intended. I am a small part of this large world‚ but God has a plan. To live the life which He has envisioned for me‚ this Psalm encourages” me

Posed with the invitation‚ “Ask whatever you want of me‚” we would expect this very human Solomon to demand what most people demand when confronted in stories by a genie in a lamp or a fairy godmother: long life‚ lots of wealth‚ a beautiful spouse‚ victory over his enemies. He could have asked for any of those things which might make him autonomous‚ independent‚ successful at life all on his own. But he doesn’t.
