Passion for Praise: 'The Work of Your Fingers'

Wednesday, September 6, 1950

[O Lord, our Lord] When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers — the moon and the stars you set in place — what are people that you should think about them, mere mortals that you should care for them?
— Psalm 8:3-4
