Our scripture this morning is Psalms 8:3-4 (NKJV).
When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained, What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
In this psalm David describes God’s creation and its immensity, and then asks “what is man that You are mindful of him?” It’s a question we should ask ourselves more often. Why does God bother with such quarrelsome children who want things their own way when He has a much better plan for us? It can only be because His love for us is as immense as His creation. We were made in His image for a reason. God gives us both the greatest gift and the greatest responsibility when He calls us to partner with Him in caring for all things. This includes sharing the blessing of salvation He offers to all who will repent and accept His forgiveness. Oh Lord, how excellent is Your name indeed!
Gracious God, we are amazed that You forgive, restore and send us to be part of what You are doing in the world. Help us to be good stewards of Your gifts, and go to share Your love with all Your children. Amen.
