the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them? - Ps. 8:3-4 NIV
It's easy to say these words, but do we really get it? In the minds of most of us, we are the center of the universe. Or if we're being very magnanimous, we may allow room for those that we love, our family and friends, to also reside in that center. But God, he's off to the side somewhere, but he certainly is not the center.
Contrast that with how God feels. For God, who doesn't need an of us, the fact that he would hear our feeble praise and prayers is amazing. What is man that he is mindful of us?
