Ever feel down and out? Whether it be from other people or difficult situations, we've all felt pushed down, even "underground," at one time or another.

When you feel down, scripture reminds us of an important truth: Our glorious God cares about humanity and raises us above the chaos.

As Psalm 8 teaches, the glory of God gives us both meaning and confidence — not because of what we've done but because of God's status above all else.

Because God elevates us, we are led to praise, for God is uniquely majestic, above all the earth.
