DAY TWENTY-THREE

“When I consider your heavens,

the work of your fingers,

the moon and the stars,

which you have set in place,

what is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?

You have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings

(Or.. A little lower than God)

and crowned him with glory and honour.

Psalm 8:3-5

COMMENT

Have you ever looked up into the night sky and felt very small?  Compared with the vast expanses of space and the hugeness of the universe that fits into the palm of God’s hand, you are very small and yet God cares about you because He made you in His image and He made you to know Him and to love Him.  It’s not about size.  It’s about worth.  You are worth everything to God because He made you, He redeemed you with the blood of His own son and He wants you to fulfil His purpose for your life because it fits in with His purpose for everyone else He has created.

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING

Today is a good time to praise God for the person He made you and for the purpose He has for your life.  Although you may feel small, God says your are significant to Him and He wants you to carry out His grand plans for your life.
