Psalm 8:3 When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place….
There is a saying that I’ve seen many places on the internet that goes: “How cool is it that the same God who created mountains, oceans, and galaxies, looked at you and thought the world needed one of you too?” This Psalm puts me squarely in mind of that saying.
Psalm 8:4 …what is mankind that You are mindful of them, human beings that You care for them?
It’s easy to get bogged down in the muck of life. There’s plenty of muck to get bogged in, but does God say of the mountains or the valleys or the oceans, “Oops. That wasn’t what I was going for”? I don’t think so. And He doesn’t make mistakes with humans, either. We are uniquely created for a purpose, just as lovingly created as the most beautiful mountain vistas and ocean sunrises.
Psalm 8:5 You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.
Lord, Thank You for this day and this scripture. Thank You for the loving care that You put into creating each one of us. Help us to see ourselves and each other with Your loving, compassionate eyes. Help us to fulfill Your purpose for us. Help us to point others to You. Draw us closer. Amen.
Psalm 8:9 LORD, our Lord, how majestic is Your name in all the earth!
Have a blessed day.
