Psalm 8 | Lift Up Your Eyes | Jared Lyda

David lifts his eyes from hardship to heaven and declares the majesty of God’s name in all the earth.This psalm reminds us that God’s glory is unmatched, His name exalted above the heavens. Yet He is also mindful of man. He is caring for us, crowning us with honor, and inviting us to reflect His glory.Psalm 8 points beyond David to Jesus, the Son of Man who fulfills what Adam failed to do.
