Genesis 49,50; Psalms 8; Luke 20
Why Are People So Important To God?
Scripture
1 LORD our Lord, your name is the most wonderful in all the earth!
It brings you praise everywhere in heaven.
2 From the mouths of children and babies come songs of praise to you.
They sing of your power to silence your enemies who were seeking revenge.
3 I look at the heavens you made with your hands.
I see the moon and the stars you created.
4 And I wonder, “Why are people so important to you?
Why do you even think about them?
Why do you care so much about humans?
Why do you even notice them?”
5 But you made them almost like gods
and crowned them with glory and honor.
6 You put them in charge of everything you made.
You put everything under their control.
7 People rule over the sheep and cattle and all the wild animals.
8 They rule over the birds in the sky
and the fish that swim in the sea.
9 LORD our Lord, your name is the most wonderful name in all the earth!
Observation
Maybe you have wanted to ask God the same question that King David asked Him in this Psalm, “Why do you care so much about humans?”
I have wondered that myself. Why does He put up with us? We have messed everything up. We don’t deserve His Love or His goodness that He lavishes on us. Just think He has put us in charge of everything on earth. He made the entire Universe, the Sun and the Moon and all of the stars and all of the planets just for us! He has crowned us with glory and honor and He has made us like Him.
Even children and babies sing praises to God.
The Bible is a love story all about how much God loves you and how much He loves me. Over and over and over again He tells us in His Word just how much He loves us. Can you think of some verses that speak of God’s love for us? You probably immediately thought of John 3:16, maybe even Romans 5:8, or how about Romans 8:37-39
“No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
“God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us”. Ephesians 3:20
Application
All day today I am going to Praise the Lord for loving me and blessing me so much. I am going to praise Him for His creation and thank Him for creating it just for us!
Prayer
