Joe: Hey, so what do you got for us?

Bible Expert: Well, this is Psalms 8. It’s a song of praise to God, written by King David. It begins by asking God how awesome and powerful He is, and how wonderful it is that He’s made humans so important in His creation.

Joe: Whoa! So we’re like super important to God?

Bible Expert: Yes! The Psalm goes on to say that God made humans to have dominion over all of the animals, the birds of the sky, the fish of the sea, and all of the creatures living on the earth.

Joe: That’s wild!

Jamie (sidekick): Yeah, but Joe, what about all of the extinction going on today?

Bible Expert: Well, Jamie, that’s part of the problem of sin. But what the Psalm is saying is that God has made humans to be stewards of His creation.

Joe: Interesting. What else?

Bible Expert: The Psalm goes on to say that God’s glory is so great that it reaches up to the heavens and His name is praised throughout the earth.

Joe: Wow. So even though we’re so small, God’s glory is still so big.

Bible Expert: Exactly. The Psalm finishes by saying that God is our protector and He watches over us with His loving care.

Joe: That’s beautiful. So no matter what we’re going through, God is still watching over us.

Bible Expert: Yes, He is.
