How Excellent!

Isn't it a joy to open the mailbox - you know, most people still have one - and find a note of hello from someone! Boy, I sure do! It's why I try to send a card or two every week - a typical Sunday-afternoon thing I do. Read what David writes in Psalm 8: "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your Name in all the earth! ... When I see and consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have established, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?" (Verses 1, 3-4 AMP). When I discover that card in my mailbox, open and read it, besides the joy it brings to me, I consider how that dear sender who was mindful of me - mindful enough to take time and give effort to send it!  It reminds me  of what a marvelous wonder The Creator of all things - of indescribable splendor above the heavens (V.1) - would have thought, care, concern, love, mercy for one such as I. God's greatest thought for and toward man came in the Person of His only Son - Jesus ... our Redeemer. I am challenged and will continue to love my mailbox - what it receives and sends; yet, will I ever rejoice as David did: "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic and glorious and excellent is Your Name in all the earth!"
