THE IMPORTANCE OF US
Today's reading: Psalm 6-8

"When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers--the moon and the stars you have set in place--what are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should care for us?" Psalm 8:3-4 NLT

This morning I am overwhelmed with the importance God places on me. All of us, really.

That in all His creativity and craftsmanship, He chose to make us in His image, give us His breath and provide us with eternal life through His own flesh and blood.

That He spun the galaxies into an order that supports our life, provides our food and astounds us with splendor.

That His concoction of gases in the atmosphere sustains us.

That His gravitational pull keeps our feet on the ground and our hearts always yearning for Him.

That the miracle of birth and death He sees, approves of and has set into motion for each and every one of us--specifically.

That the sun, moon and stars, creatures big and small, weather patterns and seasonal changes that He has control over are less important to Him than we are.

That what I cannot see, cannot foretell and cannot fathom is safe in His hands.

I feel bigger this morning. I feel more important than I did. I feel blessed. I feel the Lord's presence in the simplicity of these verses!
