Psalm 8

8:1 O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.

8:2 Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

8:3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established;

8:4 what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

8:5 Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor.

8:6 You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet,

8:7 all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field,

8:8 the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

8:9 O LORD, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

ABUNDANT HEALTH

Mindful Eating

So eat your meals heartily, not worrying about what others say about you—you’re eating to God’s glory, after all, not to please them. 1 Corinthians 10:31 (The Message)

Try a new eating technique today. Chew slowly. Eating is a sacred wonderful experience that can connect you to your senses, your body, and the extraordinary flavors in real food. Slow, conscious eating will allow you to really taste your food and allow your body to register that it is actually full.
