Seven Whos From the Book of Psalms

DAY 1 OF 7

Who Are You To Be Loved By God?

It must have been a clear night in Palestine when David looked up at the sky full of stars. Humbled by what he saw above (nothing in creation is as humbling as the stars), he wondered at God’s handiwork. David gaped at the glory and greatness of God reflected in the night sky. He wondered how a God so big could care about us.

If David only knew the half of it! If David had a grasp of the size of the universe, if he had some notion that there are billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars, how much more amazed would he have been?

If you grabbed a handful of sand, you would pick up around 10,000 grains of sand. That’s a lot of grains of sand. Think about all the sand on the beaches around the world, and all the sand in the deserts of our planet. How many grains do they have? That is one big number! Now do you know there are more stars in the sky than grains of sand on our planet. In fact, there are ten times more stars than grains of sand. 

When we contemplate the size of our universe, our minds reel. God, who created all of that, with His mere command, is so big. He is, indeed, without any limits whatsoever to His greatness and power. He is the infinite God. But how can a God so great care for mere humans? How can a God so big even notice these odd creatures living on one tiny planet in one medium-sized galaxy? God, do you really take notice of me? Are you mindful of me? Do you care about me? The entire Bible shouts, “Yes! A thousand times, yes!” In fact, David goes on to say:

Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet. (Ps. 8:5–6)

God has bestowed upon us dignity, majesty, glory, and honor. He has given us authority over the earth, animals, birds, and fish. We bear His image. We reflect His glory. He has placed eternity in our hearts. We will live forever. We mean so much to the infinite God that He sent His own eternal Son to become one of us so that He could die on a cross and win our salvation. So great is God’s love for us. So great is God’s love for you. Stand back and wonder.
