Episode 20: Rulers

Many Christians suffer from self-doubt, from a sense of somehow “not being enough.” And in a culture of shame, the words of Psalm 8, wondering why God should even pay attention to human beings, can sound timid or belittling. But the psalmist isn’t done. Human beings may seem small compared to the vastness of the universe, but God has made them to be vice-regents (co-rulers, if you will) over creation. Psalm 8 should teach us humility rather than shame.
