“O Lord, Our Lord, How excellent is your name in all the earth!…When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which you have ordained, What is man that you are mindful of him?” Psalm 8:1-4

Glance into a star filled night sky and all thoughts of your day will seem to vanish away. Look up and behold the splendor and majesty of our Creator, then remember that in the vastness of this great universe that God’s love for you is real. We are reminded of this fact in Psalm chapter 8. 

“What Is Man That You (GOD) Are Mindful Of Him?” 

I can imagine David, the author of the Psalms, lying beneath a vast canopy of stars as he wrote these words. His thoughts so nearly mirror our thoughts today. We’ve all thought at one time or another, ‘in the vastness of all of this creation who am I that you Lord God are mindful of me?’ And yet He is mindful of you! Better still, God’s love for you is beyond measure. He has singled you out! He knows your name! He cares for you! Through His Son Jesus He’s offered eternal life to you! With such assurance, such support from God Almighty, there can surely be no limit to what you can achieve in life! So the next time you look up into a star filled sky just remember, the same God who created all your eyes behold also created you in his image.
