Lord it was You who
Created the heavens. 
Lord it was Your hands
That put the stars in their place,
Lord it is Your voice
That commands the morning,
Even oceans and their waves,
Will bow at Your feet,
Lord who am I
Compared to Your glory, oh Lord.
Lord who am I
Compared to Your majesty.
-Brent Helming

When I start dwelling on His creation, how glorious it truly is, I have to ask along with the psalmist, "what is man that You are mindful of him?" I am reminded of my own sinful nature and how prone to weakness I am. But at the same time I have to also wonder as to why we would ever want to wander, move our gaze from His lovely face to look instead upon evil? I don't understand it, yet I am prone to do it just as any other sinner is. As I am reading through the beginning of Judges, it always amazes me how easily the Israelites seemed to wander away from the Lord and entangle themselves with the worldliness surrounding them, in spite of all the amazing things the Lord worked in their presence. But I shouldn't be surprised because in many ways I am not much different from them. So easily I am distracted in the midst of a busy day or set of circumstances. And then there are the times when I just flat out refuse to obey. Lord, have mercy.
But Paul reminds us that sin and death has been conquered through the death on the cross. "But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labor is not in vain in the Lord." (1 Corinthians 15:57-8)
Lord it is Your voice
