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…
ALL FOR HIS GLORY!
