PSALM 8:3-4
"When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you set in place Lord, what are people that you should think about them, MERE MORTALS that you should care for them?"
Sometimes we as humans have an inflated sense of our being. Sometimes we think we are immortal or so powerful that we can control this world or even the universe. The humanists would like to compare themselves to the God who made the universe and yet they can not even make dirt. Only God can bring anything into existence, such as the moon and the stars and this world we live in. Only God can make human beings from the dust and dirt. Only God can breath life into an inanimate creature and give it life. Only God can give a second birth and eternal life to anyone! So the psalmist asks an important question.
Why does God care about people, or even think about them? Why does God care for us, mere mortals, that are subject to the death of this world? After all He has the universe, with its sun moon, stars and galaxies to enjoy. What is man to God, compared to the work of His fingers? When you think about this or consider it with a human prospective it is a puzzle, but not to God. Why does God even think about man or care for the son of man?
The answer is that He loves us and cares for each and every one of us. We are the apple of His eye and He knows each one of us by name and everything about us. He loves us so much that He is willing to give us His only begotten Son to Save us from certain death and then give us eternal life with Him in Heaven. All that is needed is that we believe in His Son Jesus Christ and come to fear, know and love the God of the Universe. We should not question God, or think what we would do as humans. His mind is above our minds and although it is a wonder and a blessing remember, we are all just MERE MORTALS!
