Episode Title

Crowned with Glory: Rediscovering Your Worth in the Majesty of God (Psalm 8)

Episode Summary

Do you ever feel small, unseen, or unimportant?

Psalm 8 speaks directly into those moments of insecurity. In this episode of Counseling Through the Psalms, James Long, Jr. explores how David takes us from awe at God’s majesty to wonder at our worth. This psalm affirms that even though we are small in the grand scale of creation, we are not forgotten—we are crowned with glory and entrusted with purpose.

Whether you’re struggling with identity, battling shame, or trying to reclaim a sense of meaning in your life, Psalm 8 shows you where your true value is found: not in what you do, but in the One who made you.

Key Takeaways

  • God’s majesty doesn’t diminish your worth; it defines it.
  • Even in your weakness, God displays His strength through you.
  • Your dignity is not earned by performance, but given by grace.
  • The image of God in you reflects your design, your calling, and your purpose.
  • Jesus fulfills Psalm 8, restoring the broken image of God in us and renewing our calling to reflect His glory.
