One of the greatest expressions of the dignity, worth, and place man in the universe came not from a scientist or great intellectual thinker, but from a humble Shepherd-king from the hills of Judah in ancient Israel. As a Shepherd, David might have spend many nights contemplating the heavens above him.
The Bible tells us that David was a man after God's own heart (see 1Samuel 13:14; Acts 13:32), which means that his heart and mind were tune with God. Because of this intimate relationship, David was sensitive to divine revelation, by which he was able to give matchless description of man's relationship with God and the rest of creation.
O Lord, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth, who have displayed Your splendor above the heavens!... When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have ordained; what is man that You take thought of him, and the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crowned him glory and majesty! You made him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beast of the fields, the birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes through the paths of the seas Psalms 8:1; 3-8
When David considered the heavens he was impressed not with the smallness of man but with greatness of God. Splendor is another word for glory, and David describes that splendor as the "work of (God's) finger." Glory is tangible and observable. David's question. "What is man....?" indicates that he recognized humanity's apparent smallness against the backdrop of creation. His next statement, however, reveals that he understood man's true place in God's order: "Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty!"
What an incredible statement! God created man "a little lower" than Himself! That's something that is never said even about the angels. Some translations of the Bible, such as the King James, render the phrase "a little lower than the angels." However, the Hebrew word is Elohim, which is the most basic Old Testament word meaning "god," or "a god."
Elohim is plural in form, and as such usually refers to God Himself. In some contexts it does refers to angels or lower "gods" such as false gods worshiped by Israel's neighbors. In the context of Psalm 8, however, translating Elohim as "God" makes more sense. It is the same word that is used in Genesis 1:1, "In the beginning God Elohim created the heavens and earth.
Friend, I believe you've known who you are and the power invested in you for greatness. Stay Relevant.
