“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 man and the son of man that thou visitest him?”
Have you ever looked up into the night sky and wondered in your heart why a great God who created all of that and keeps it working would pay attention to you? I surely have. When I consider the greatness of God, it just amazes me that this great God would care about my little mullie-grubbing life. On top of all that, He loved me enough to send His Son to die on the cross for me in order for me to be saved from sin. I just have to admit that all of this is beyond my intellectual ability to grasp and to understand. That’s why we have to accept Him by faith. We are God’s unique creation. After God created everything else, He created Adam and Eve and “breathed into them the breath of life…” Our lives are the result of the breath of God. In Psalm 139:14 David wrote: “I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth quite well.” “Fearfully” is also translated as “remarkably.” If we take a good look at this organism that God has made, that is called “us,” we will realize how remarkable it is. Just the mechanism of the eye that enables us to see is a remarkable work. Think of human hand with a thumb that can help us grasp objects. It is all remarkable, and should make our minds and hearts soar with gratitude to God Who “fearfully and wonderfully” made us. Rejoice in the fact that you are a unique creation of the almighty God. We were created by God to worship and serve Him. Adam and Eve were placed in the Garden of Eden to serve Him through dressing and keeping the garden. They had a perfect relationship with God, but when Satan visited the garden, he took their eyes off of service to God and put their eyes on serving themselves for their own pleasure. This remains a human struggle to this day. We were created to serve God, but we get sidetracked in our service to self. When I say that we were created to serve God, I do not mean that we were all created to be preachers or missionaries. We were created to worship Him, consult Him by prayer and live lives that lift Him up. We can do this in any work that we do on this earth. I have not scratched the surface of what this great text says, but perhaps what I have written can help you find your place in the grand scheme of almighty God….for you do have a place!!!! Bro. Joe
