God Did Not Make You “a Little Lower Than the Angels.”

December 5, 2011 by James Early

I love these verses from Psalm 8. They speak of how God made us in His glory and gave us dominion.

When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet: Psalm 8:3-6

This reminds me of the first chapter in Genesis where God made man in His image and likeness and gave him dominion over all the earth and everything in it. (See Genesis 1:26)

But all too often we belittle ourselves because of mistakes we’ve made or because of a negative self image–based sometimes on what others think and say about us, but usually on how we see ourselves.

So this declaration in Psalm 8 that we are just “a little lower than the angels,” has always been encouraging and comforting to me.

LET THE VOICE OF HIS WORD SPEAK DIRECTLY TO YOU!

You can read a Scripture all your life without realising its meaning, until the Holy Spirit opens it to you & brings it to life! It's the voice of His Word when He gives it to you personally or He gives it to you in an answer.--He brings it to life, applies it to a situation & it suddenly becomes ALIVE! It's no longer just mere words, or words that just run through your head, but all of a sudden you really get the POINT!

Have you ever read a passage & all of a sudden some verse or Scripture or word just hits you, "That's for ME! That's the ANSWER!"? God couldn't have spoken any more emphatically if He'd yelled it out or screamed it in your ear! It may have been written for somebody else 5,000 years ago, yet, all of a sudden, it hits you personally. The Holy Spirit grabbed ahold of that arrow, pulled back the bow & cut you to the heart!

He only has to speak the Word & it can unlock a whole situation & give you the key that unlocks the door that reveals the whole Truth! If there's a Scripture that fits the situation, He will give you the Scripture, the Word! He will use His Own Word to give you the answers. Thank the Lord for His Word!
