"When I look at the night sky and see the work of your hand, 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 humans have an inflated sense of our worth and being. Some think they are immortal, or so powerful that they can control the world or even the universe. Humanists try to compare themselves to the God that made the universe, yet they are incapable of making anything from nothing, they can not even make dirt. Only God can bring things into existence with the command of His voice. God can make the tangible from the intangible, no one else can even consider this. God spoke and the world and universe became real. God made the moon and the stars that all we live in. Only God can make human beings from the dirt and dust with His breath. Only God can provide us with the second birth that saves us from death and gives us eternal life. We on the other hand are MERE MORTALS!
Why does God even care about human beings? Why does He think about us and provide us with a manual for our life, the Word. After all God has the universe with its suns, moons and stars to enjoy. We are MERE MORTALS, born only to die and are here for just a moment. What is man compared to the work of God's hand? When you think about it, or consider it from the human prospective, it is a puzzle. It is not a puzzle to God, for He has planned the end from the beginning and man was something that He cared for and thought about carefully. Why did God make man?
The answer is that God loves us and cares for each and every one of His creations. We are the apple of His eye. The Lord knows each one of us by name and everything about us. He loves His creations. He loved us so much that He was willing to sacrifice His only begotten Son to go to the cross and save us from certain death. God wants to give eternal life in heaven to everyone that will accept Him and Worship Him. All we need to do is believe in and accept in our hearts, Jesus Christ His only Son! We need to come to fear, know and love God. It is not up to man to question God or His plans. It is not important what we as humans would do if we were God. God's mind is above our minds and God's ways are above our ways. Accept the blessing and wonder of the fact that as MERE MORTALS, God cares for us and loves us. Praise the Lord!
