When I consider thy heavens, the
work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is
man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Psalm 8:3-4
Have you ever asked yourself why God cares so much about
you…? This is the same God who made the
heavens and earth, the same God who inhabits the praises of His people and the
same God who is surrounded by angels and hymns of praise… Even in the midst of
all that, He turns His attention toward you and cares about you… Why is that?
This is the question that is asked by the psalmist today… “When I consider
thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou has
ordained…” Take time out of your day to think about all the things that God
has created, think about the things He has spoken into existence, this mere
reality make me often wonder this same thing that is asked today, “What is
man, that thou art mindful of him?” The truth of the matter is we don’t
deserve His goodness, we don’t deserve His mercy, we don’t deserve His grace
but yet and still He gives us new mercies every morning and provides enough
grace to open up doors that we never thought could be opened… I am living
witness of God’s faithfulness not just because I am here, but because I have
been between a rock and a hard place and know that it was only by His grace and
mercy that I was kept and able to overcome (now is another display of His
authority)… Today I ask you to take a second and ponder this question; ask
yourself why you’re valued so much by God…? Think about this very carefully
before you answer this question… God created everything that you see He has the
ability to make rocks praise Him and adore His holy name; however, He still
puts most of His love and passion into mankind… The psalmist recognizes today
that God doesn’t need Him; He recognizes that God being all powerful has made a
choice to love mankind despite the lack of love that we give Him in return… The
bible says that “while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us…” This is
why the psalmist says “…and the son of man, that thou visitest him?”
Jesus came to this earth while we were neck deep in the mire of death, He came
while we couldn’t even possible love Him back and He laid down His life for a
filthy rag such as myself… Knowing this, I pose the question to you again, Have
you ever wondered why you are valued by God... The moon and the stars are a
fascinating creation; the heavens have been created by mere words; however God
still fills a void that only you can fill… He longs for all mankind to come to
know Him and accepting His offering which was shed on Calvary…
I liken this passage unto a rich man
who still seeks the value of a companion; God has everything that anyone could
dream of; however, He longs to have you with Him for all Eternity… This passage
teaches me that if God is “mindful of me” despite my faults and flaws,
that I should be mindful of what I allow too take place in my life or who I
allow in my life… Value is something that is not taught or learned, but
something that is displayed… God values you enough above all that He has
created and it’s about time that you recognize the true value you hold… Take
time to look at your life, take a moment to think about all the ways that God
has made for you and the numerous opportunities He has provided and ask
yourself why? This passage reminds us of the sovereignty of God! Consider the
works of Gods hands, the fact that He doesn’t need you, but He has been
gracious to you even when you didn’t deserve it! God is mindful of you because
you were created in His image, He is mindful of what you do and how you live
because He was well pleased in creating you… It disturbs God to see His
creation fail, think about seeing your child make a bad decision, think about
your household falling apart and how it would or has made you feel… It pains
God to see you settle for less than what you are worth; it pains Him to see you
accept mediocrity instead of striving for the best… God didn’t take any
shortcuts or withhold anything while designing you from the dust of the
ground... You are priceless too Him which is why His son came, you worth
extends beyond what eyes can see or minds can comprehend… Today, when reading
this passage let is sink deep into your heart and allow you to seek higher
ground in His will and way… Know that you are a masterpiece and this is why God
is mindful of you… You are God’s best creation, your are His workmanship, you
model His expertise, so He is mindful of you to make sure that your true beauty
is recognized and shown… God molded you for a purpose and wants to see you
excel just as you do with your children. If nothing else works in this life,
know that God always will… You are God’s child; this is a very important fact
to remember!!!!!!!!! Just like a mother will never forget her suckling
child, so will I never forget you…
BE BLESSED!!!
