“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, and the son of man that You visit him? For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor.” (Psalms 8:3-5, NKJV)
I got up a little earlier than usual this morning in hope of catching the Camelopardalids meteor shower. Once outside, I spent a lot of time looking up into the northern sky. It wasn’t long before I began to share the feeling of the Psalmist as he looked into the night sky thousands of years ago: Who are we that God might think of us — let alone condescend to visit us?
Then as now, God thinks more often about us than we think about God.
However, today — and every day — we have the opportunity to look around us at the handiwork of our heavenly Father, and be reminded of His great love and concern for everything (and everyone) He has made. When you find yourself drifting into the sand trap of apathy or toward the shoal waters of despair: Look up! – Luther
