Who are we, after all?

The same God who hung the Sun, Moon, and Stars in the Sky also Created us.

God, when I think about the vastness of the universe, I am amazed that You chose to create us.

Your creativity is beautiful, Your power is magnificent, and Your love for Your children is intentional.

Out of This World

For thousands of years, people have gathered around campfires and peered into the night’s sky, studying the stars. 

Now, thanks to telescopes and satellites and advances in modern technology,

we’ve uncovered more about God’s celestial creation than ever before: diverse planets, interstellar dust, mysterious black holes, and billions of other galaxies. 

Who are we, after all?

Psalm 8:3-4 KJV

[3] When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

[4] What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.8.3-4.KJV

What we’ve discovered, however, is not new to God.

It’s the very same heavens and the very same earth that He spoke into existence at the very beginning of time.

And though we’ve only scratched the surface on what’s still to be discovered,

the vastness of the heavens and the brilliance of its design beckons both humility and worship. 

In Psalm 8, David wrote:

 “When I consider your heavens, 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?”  Psalm 8:3-4 NIV

The same God who hung the sun, moon, and stars in the sky also created us. He created you.

It’s mystifying to think that He considers us His prized creations.

 Like David, this should humble us and compel us to worship.

Who are we, after all, to be loved, chosen, and redeemed—especially when we don’t deserve it?

And Who are we, when we consider the magnificence of our Creator, to be made in His image?

So, Who are we that God is mindful of us? And Who are we that He cares for the details of our lives?

We are His people. His children. We belong to Him.

So today, let’s trust in our creative, compassionate, and loving God.

He is where we’ll put our confidence. He is where we’ll put our hope. 

Psalm 119:129 KJV
[129] Thy testimonies are wonderful: Therefore doth my soul keep them.
https://bible.com/bible/1/psa.119.129.KJV

Let Us Pray:

God, when I think about the vastness of the universe, I am amazed that You chose to create us.

Your creativity is beautiful, Your power is magnificent, and Your love for Your children is intentional.

Thank You for thinking of me since the beginning of time—and for saving me by sacrificing Your only Son.

I love You, Lord. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
