Psalms 8:1
O Lord, our Lord,
How majestic is Your name in all the earth,
Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!
What's in a name? When you hear a name what do you think of? If you hear the name Thomas Edison you think of a light bulb. If hear the name Judas you think of a traitor. If you here the name Warren Buffet you think of money. When you here Jim Carey you think of goofy actor. Our name carries so much. It is hard to say a name and not have someone form an opinion quickly, or convey the opinion they have already formed. In this Psalm we see the writer talk about the majesty of The Lord's Name. It is so majestic He displayed the splendor of it in the heavens. When we say the name of Jesus in the community or call upon God within a meeting or organization we can polarize a room. The LORD"s name means something. To some it is the hope of mankind and the Master of Grace. To others it is a "form" to be denied and even ridiculed. God has placed His name far above the heavens. When we say it we ought to honor Him in the saying. Taking His name in vain was and is a major violation of His character and law. The Lord is the God of the Universe. How majestic is HIs name.
