Psalms 8:3-5
"3 When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained;
4 What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?
5 For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour."
In the book of Psalms, in the Old Testament, we read faithful and encouraging words about people's Experience of God hundreds of years before the events recorded in the New Testament! The Psalmist said that GOD seeks and saves the sinners and rejects. Also; GOD KNOWS the stars and the planets from the beginning to the end! GOD'S knowledge has no boundaries! And, from the BREATH of God all the stars are created.
As sublime and AWE inspiring as creation is; it is even more incomprehensible that God sent His only Son to save you and me. Jesus was there at the beginning, the Alpha, and "the Word" that binds it all together. He supplies the rain, makes the grass grow. God has it ALL but He did not have the hearts and minds of you and me. So, the Son comes to do something so incredible that people struggle to believe it to this day.
This is emphasized in today's verses "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? For Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour." WHO ARE WE, that GOD should care about us? Descendants of God's chosen people. Yet, we so sinful and our minds polluted and perverted. We are insignificant and our lives are quickly over having never amounted to much. Why has GOD done so much for us? Why has He given us such beauty and comfort in His creation? Why did He give His only Son to die for OUR sins???
