“to him who made the great lights, for his steadfast love endures forever; the sun to rule over the day, for his steadfast love endures forever; the moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever”
Psalms 8:3
When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalms 144:3
O LORD, what is man that you regard him, or the son of man that you think of him?
2 Chronicles 6:18
“But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!
Job 7:17
What is man, that you make so much of him, and that you set your heart on him,
Isaiah 40:17
All the nations are as nothing before him, they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.
1 Peter 2:12
Keep your conduct among the Gentiles honorable, so that when they speak against you as evildoers, they may see your good deeds and glorify God on the day of visitation.
Romans 1:20
For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
David brings out a great thought when looking at creation, and how the sun, moon, stars, and heaven are set in place he says in comparison: “What is man that you are mindful of him?” We don’t normally think down these lines do we? Is it possible we approach it as somewhat of an entitlement to have God be mindful of us. Do we look at the heavens and all that is outside of earth and stand in awe of majesty and power of the creator? This same one and only God has not only created all there is but has promised eternal life to those who believe/trust in the redemptive work of His son on the cross, repent from their past ways and from that moment on live to humbly serve, honor and obey Him. His creation and promises ought to be always on our mind with thanksgiving and praise.
