“What is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?”
Psalm 8:4
Who are we that He is mindful of us? Psalm 8 says that He has made us just a little lower than those who reside with Him in heaven and that He has things for us to do. If you look deeper at verses 4-6 I believe not only do we see how God cares for us but we catch a glimpse of Jesus – who has been given all authority in heaven and on earth. As God’s special creatures on this planet we humans are supposed to care for all of the rest of his creation – including one another, it is hard to get through this life on your own. God cares and He has given us responsibilities – that in and of itself is enough to warrant praising Him.
A prayer
Father – thank you for caring about us and for giving purpose to our lives. Thank you that we have one another to lean on in the hard times and to rejoice with, in the good times. When we are struggling help us to reach out first to You and then to those who love us. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
