What Are Mere Mortals
That You Should Think About Them,
Human Beings That You Should Care For Them? 




Scripture

Psalms 8

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
    the moon and the stars you set in place—


what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    human beings that you should care for them?


Yet you made them only a little lower than God
    and crowned them with glory and honor.


Observation

Why does the God Who created everything care about us? Just look at us! Why should He care for us? It is hard to imagine why, but He does!

Nothing escapes Him; He even knows how many hairs we have or how many hairs we used to have on our heads.

29 What is the price of two sparrows—one copper coin? But not a single sparrow can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. 30 And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. 31 So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to God than a whole flock of sparrows. Matthew 10:29-31
God loves us. We don’t deserve it.
    “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us”. Romans 5:8


   

God is for us. He is not against us.
My enemies will retreat when I call to you for help. This I know: God is on my side!” Psalm 56:9

Application

I will pray Psalm 8 back to the Lord this morning!

Prayer

O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
    Your glory is higher than the heavens.


You have taught children and infants
    to tell of your strength,
silencing your enemies
    and all who oppose you.

When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
    the moon and the stars you set in place—


what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
    human beings that you should care for them?
Yet you made them only a little lower than God
    and crowned them with glory and honor.


You gave them charge of everything you made,
    putting all things under their authority—
the flocks and the herds
    and all the wild animals,

 
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea,
    and everything that swims the ocean currents.

O Lord, our Lord, your majestic name fills the earth!
