Psalm 8:3–4 (ESV) — 3 When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
NOTE: We do seem insignificant in the grand scheme of things. The universe is so large that it exceeds our ability to comprehend. Our galaxy, just one of hundreds of millions of galaxies is immense beyond comprehension. Our solar system, one of hundreds of millions in our galaxy is huge. We recently made it to the edge of a solar system and out into the gap between the stars. It took us over 20 years, and at that speed would take hundreds of years to get to the closest star. And yet here we are -- 8 billion souls in the middle of an indescribably large ocean of space. And, even more amazing, we are greatly loved despite our insignificance. The son of God, who created our amazing universe, came to Earth and died on a cross for our sins. God loved us first.
PONDER:
- Do I appreciate the greatness of creation and my own insignificance?
- Do I appreciate God's love for me and that he cares for me personally?
PRAYER: I am staggered by the immensity of the universe. I am amazed that Jesus died for me. Thank you Lord for love that is so amazing, it truly does demand my heart, my soul, my all.
