When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:3-4
How could it be that I am forever on God's mind? Why would He even care about me? It seems He has more important things to do, but not a moment goes by that He doesn't think of me.
I sure don't deserve His attention; no man deserves it. Yet that is what He does. That is who He is. Every moment of every day, He is thinking of every man who will ever be conceived. He knew each of us by name before the earth was formed. Since He is eternal, there has never been a time when He wasn't thinking of us; there has never been a time when He was thinking of me.
When I consider how amazing it is that God has a personal interest in every human being, He seems unreal. How could it be possible? How could any One being be intimately involved and concerned with billions of people - not to mention the billions of stars, plants, trees, and animals that are a part of His creation? How could One so enormous be so small?
Lord, You really are amazing. You are deserving of all glory and honor. My mind cannot begin to perceive Your greatness. One so great as You could choose anyone, and You chose me. I guess if the God of the universe could choose me, I must be worth something after all.
Father, where did this low opinion of myself come from? Why should I ever care about what others might think when You think enough of me to send Your Son? Help me, Lord, to give You the glory. Help me to remember that I am but a man. And help me to understand that You don't make junk. I long to follow You.
How majestic is Your name in all the earth!
