Psalms 8:1 “O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, Who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!”

THE SPLENDOR OF THE KING

As I write this thought today I am sitting at a table in the dining hall at a church kids camp. It’s quiet right now since all the kids are still sleeping. (Do you know how nice that is? Lol). But all around me are hills, trees, and birds starting to sing. There’s a mist rising from the valleys. All I can think of is how majestic this world is in its beauty. God did real good!

But as majestic as the scene is, it pales in comparison to the majesty of our God. We cannot even begin to describe it. No man has ever observed His true majesty. We can only conjecture at how it must look. Aren’t you excited to be able to do that one day?

TEACHING MOMENT

Our children are often overwhelmed at new sights and sounds. Here at camp many of the children are experiencing camp for the first time. Watching them transform from nervous, shaky campers on the first day to carefree, totally involved campers by the end of the week is awesome. They can learn so much so quick.

Teaching our children about the majesty of God is best done by pointing out all those things around us that our Father has made. The complexities of nature and our bodies are great ways to talk about His majesty and His greatness. Only a majestic God and a great God could have made all we see.

Our children need to know that a majestic God is also magnificent, full of splendor, dignified, illustrious, and full of grandeur.   Those are just a few of the words to describe Him. Why not take the time to explain each of those words and how they relate to our Heavenly Father. There is no way to fully explain Him, but it’s a start. As the song says, “Majesty, Worship His majesty.”
