Reflections

Psalm 8:3-6:

"When I consider Your heavens,

 the work of Your fingers, 

the moon and the stars, 

which You have ordained; 

what is man that You take thought of him, 

and the son of man that You care for him?

 Yet You have made him a little lower than God,

 and You crown him with glory and majesty! 

You make him to rule over the works of Your hands;

 You have put all things under his feet."

When I stop and think about the planets God formed, how He created earth, how He covered the ground with blades of grass, how He paints the sky with sunsets, how He creates life, I am in complete awe. What astonishes me even further is God, creator of all things, who is so majestic in all His ways, has crowned us with His glory. 

We are selfish, undeserving, unworthy individuals, but God wants us. He wants us to be His. He wants us to turn from the mundane in life and focus on His beauty. He loves us so much He doesn't care how unqualified we are. He is calling us to Him. He is holding out His hand asking us to join Him. 

Are we willing to set aside out day, our agendas for Him? Are we willing to give all our attention and affection to the one who created us? 

What would our lives look like if we lived with the knowledge that God made us to rule over the works of His hand, that He has crowned us with glory and majesty?
