This meditation video goes live on Phroneo’s one year birthday. Thank you so much for joining me, spending time with me, and more importantly with the Word of God.
Today we meditate on Psalm chapter 8, verses 3 to 4. Wonderful verses. 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?
The Psalmist here has just got this vision of absolute grandeur out in the sky above him. And looking at all that God has put, this vast expanse of the heavens, he then asks, of what significance am I in that context? God’s made all of this amazing creation, this universe that he’s given us to live in. How can he possibly think of little us in the midst of all of this grandeur?
And of course if you know the Psalm you know that he goes on to say, and yet you have put mankind in this great position of honour. This is what God has done for us. God has created this vast universe so finely tuned to the needs of life, because he wanted to create us. That was his intention all along. And he wants to be in relationship with us.
Do you ever think that? Look up at the sky, just be amazed at all that God has done. And then even more amazed that he cares about us. Cared so much that he sent his son, Jesus, who is God, to surrender his human life, to give up his divinity and to die in the most humiliating way we could conceive of.
And yet he, our God, is mindful of us and he does care for us. This is a glorious truth. Wouldn’t you agree?
Oh, thank you, God. Thank you that you do consider us. Thank you that there is a special place in your heart for us, your creatures. We honour and adore you. Amen.
