Episode 148: Crowned Dust
from Eat This Book! Hosted by Michael Whitworth
After a string of psalms filled with enemies and tears, Psalm 8 lifts our eyes to the night sky. In this episode, we stand with David beneath the moon and stars, the work of God's fingers, and ask the question every stargazer eventually asks: what are we, that God would even notice us? We discover that God builds his stronghold from the praise of infants, and that unlike the ancient myths that made people the gods' laborers, God crowned humanity with glory and honor and entrusted us with his creation. Then, with Hebrews, we admit we don't yet see that crown worn well, but we do see Jesus, the true man who wears it perfectly. Along the way, we find freedom in feeling small, dignity that can't be lost on a bad day, and a calling to rule as servants. This is a public episode.
