You Are Made For Glory

Made for Glory by Vicki Kemper | published on Jun 11, 2022
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them? Yet you have made them a little lower than God, and crowned them with glory and honor. – Psalm 8:3-5 (NRSV) However you’re feeling today—hopeful or despairing, powerless or inspired, lonely or madly in love—there’s something the psalmist wants you to know. Whatever you’re doing today—marching for an end to gun violence, taking your kids to soccer practice, working a second job to make ends meet, or doing laundry and cleaning house—there’s something I want you to know. You were made for glory. Pleasant Hill Community Church, United Church of Christ, located at 67 Church Drive, Pleasant Hill, TN. We are an Open and Affirming, Whole Earth, Global Mission, Just Peace congregation of the United Church of Christ.
