This song echoes the words written by King David in Psalm 8 with the central purpose of praising the Lord for his greatness. In the opening phrase of this Psalm, King David uses two different Hebrew titles to address the Most High God\u2026 \u201cO Lord\u201d and then goes on to describe our God. He says \u201c<em>how excellent is Your name<\/em>.\u201d The meaning of \u201cexcellent\u201d can be best described by the words \u201cglorious\u201d, \u201cbeautiful\u201d and \u201cworthy\u201d.\u00a0 When we stop and think about the titles of our God, \u201cLord\u201d, \u201cCreator\u201d, \u201cSovereign\u201d, \u201cAlpha and Omega\u201d etc. we see they teach us much about the wondrous nature and workings of our Lord.\u00a0 \u00a0This is why all the titles of God are \u201cexcellent\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Today simply look up at the skies, take a look at the colors of the trees and see all the glories it contains.\u00a0 In the daytime, notice the wonderfully bright sun that enlightens the world.\u00a0 Look at the miracles of the birds who can soar and fly for seemingly hours on end.<\/p>\n<p>And then at night, look at the details of the stars and planets that are hung there. Be amazed by the displays of the Northern lights, a meteor shower, or the full moon that dimly enlightens the earth. Then say as the Psalmist or sing like Miranda Curtis, Ohhhhh-Ohhh-Ohhhh there\u2019s nobody like You Lord!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>October 29-30 The Excellency Of The Lord O Lord, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the heavens!
