Psalm 8:4-5
“What is man, that you think of him? What is the son of man, that you care for him? You have made him a little lower than God, and crowned him with glory and honor.”
This psalm is a song of praise, likely used in worship, reflecting on humanity's place in creation. The psalmist marvels at God's greatness, then turns to consider the surprising dignity and authority given to human beings despite their smallness in comparison to the vast universe.
How might recognizing an inherent 'glory and honor' in every human life reshape our approach to those society marginalizes?
