"When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained; What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?" (Psalm 8:3-4).
When the Psalmist considered the wonders of God's creation by gazing at the night sky he was greatly humbled. And as he looked in awe at the amazing beauty of the stars and moon that God created he prayed to God, "What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man, that thou visitest him?" Why would such a great and powerful God care for and be mindful of such insignificant and tiny specks in his universe like you and me?
What's even more incomprehensible is not only that God would think upon and care for man, but that he humbled himself and became a man that he might give his life as a ransom for us. The hymn writer sums it up best, "Amazing love how can it be that thou my God should die for me." Praise His Holy name!
