Is God Mindful of Man?
Dear Lord, I pray for wisdom for those who ask God the question, “What is man that you are mindful of him?” In Jesus’ name, amen.
Ever wonder why God is so interested in man? One psalmist asked the same question. He contrasts the creator of the universe with an individual. The author of Psalm 8:3-4 (ESV) writes,
“When I look at 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,
and the son of man that you care for him?”
Why is God so interested in you? Genesis 1:27 (ESV) holds part of the answer.
“So God created man in his own image,
in the image of God he created him;
male and female he created them”
It is okay to wonder why God is mindful of man. The important thing is to know that he is mindful. He created us so we can have a personal relationship with the creator of the universe, through his son, Jesus Christ.
