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? You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned
him with glory and honor.-Psalm 8:3-5
The other day as I was driving, I saw
the most beautiful sunset. I had just read this verse this morning, so it was fresh in my mind and I pulled
over to watch. The sun was a vibrant orange as it sank over the horizon, painting the clouds with with
such gorgeous shades of color; gold, red, fuchsia.
I spent some time praising God for the beauty that
He creates, and I was reminded of the pictures recently taken by the Hubble. I marveled at the gigantic
swirling clouds of colorful galaxies that are simply the work of my Father's fingers. Sometimes I feel
in such awe that I wonder as the psalmist said, “what is man that you are mindful of him?” Looking at
the vastness of our universe can make me feel quite small and insignificant. But our Father
reassures us that we are “crowned with glory and honor” through
the cleansing blood of Jesus. Throughout
God's Word we are assured that God loves us and we are significant to Him. What an honor! How blessed we are that our great and
awesome God cares intimately for us, even knowing the number of hairs on our
heads.
Prayer: Father, thank you for the beauty that you created and for being mindful of us and our problems.
AWSOME!!
