Scripture Verse on the Moon 5/22/2014

Thursday Morning and it is one more day until Friday.

My coffee this morning is a big cup of Door County Red Velvet Mocha. It looks like it is going to be long one.

I was listening to a radio show yesterday and the radio evangelist was talking about the moon landing that the United States performed in 1969. One of the items that the astronauts left was a placard with Psalm 8 transcribed on it.

Psalm 8  (NKJV)

The Glory of the Lord in Creation

To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath.^[a] A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth,
Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

² Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
⁴ What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
⁵ For You have made him a little lower than the angels,^[b]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

⁶ You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,
⁷ All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
⁸ The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

⁹ O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth

 

I was thinking that Psalm 8 was probably the best Scripture that could have been left on the moon. It was very appropriate and really honored God.

 

But then I thought " Hey the Word of God is On the Moon" That was followed by "that's nice but God was there too. Now that's a bigger deal."

 

Psalm 139:7-8

⁷ Where can I go from Your Spirit?
Or where can I flee from Your presence?
⁸ If I ascend into heaven, You are there;

 

As men we might even travel to Mars some day. But God was there first and will be there when we get to Mars. Now that's amazing!

 

God bless,

Marty
