Crowned with Glory and Honor
Please don't let anyone convince you that humans are just another animal that evolved from some chemicals coming together spontaneously. Nothing could be farther from reality. Man is the highest creation of God on earth. We are crowned with glory and honor by God Himself.(Psalm 8:3-5)
God's universe is spectacular and expansive. His creation declares His glory. It is true that the angels are able to do things that humans can't do, but they have no hope of salvation, which is far more important. God made man in His own image. That gives us worth or glory. He honored us by dying for us on the Cross of Calvary, so we could spend eternity with Him in a perfect place. I would say He counts us pretty important.
However, we owe any glory and honor we have to Him. If it were not for His mercy and grace, we would be nothing, and we would be headed for Hell like the angels who rebelled with Lucifer. Our glory and honor only comes from God, so we need to give it all back to Him in praise and recognition of His grace which He lavishes on us.
Tomorrow, I intend to read Psalms 9-11.
