As a reflection on Genesis 1–2, Psalm 8 describes our worth and responsibility as human beings. Think about what this Psalm means for us as modern believers. Notice the first and last verses of this Psalm: God is the real focus here.

• What are some examples where God has covered creation with His majesty?

After considering all God has made – the universe, moon and stars, and so on – the psalmist recognizes that humanity is only a small part of God’s entire creation. Still, the author affirms that God created humanity uniquely and set us apart from the rest of creation. This echoes the fact that we are made in God’s image and given the task to co-manage creation alongside God.

• How can we honor and glorify God in the way we relate to other parts of creation?
