Application Questions

1. In what ways does Psalm 8 go against the beliefs of our culture?

2. Why does God use the weak instead of the strong to accomplish His purposes? If God uses the weak, how does that both bring glory to God and honor the person?

3. Does seeing God’s world and creation move you to worship Him in praise? What role should this act have in your spiritual disciplines? 

4. Why do verses 4-5 create a surprising truth? How should verse 5 shape how we view and treat all people?
