What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You should visit him? – Psalm 8:4
Is God interested in you? You better believe it! We are infinitely small compared to the universe but that does not stop God from keeping his eyes on us. We push Him away and do what we feel, but his great grace upholds us. We did nothing to deserve His love, but He sent Jesus to the earth to visit us and save us from the wrath that our own behavior deserved. King David reminds us that He crowed us with glory and honor (Psalm 8:5) and granted us rulership over all the earth (Psalm 8:6). Consider these things the next time you think that God has forgotten about you or is no longer interested in you. He wants you to view Him as a Father who loves you and not just some distant God. His interest in you will never cease no matter what you do or go through in this world. You are not just another number to Him but a special treasure to whom He cannot wait to lavish His love.
There is nothing I can do to keep God’s heart and mind away from me
This is a timely reminder of how God thinks and feels about and chooses us and acts on this.
I took some time to think about this when I read it and study out the words mindful and visit in the Blue Letter Bible and it was quite enlightening.
My extra takeaways:
-meditate on what God says about me and how He thinks about me and what He has given me, as laid out in scripture and choose to believe it.
-challenge myself as to what actions I should’ve taking based on believing the truth and follow through by taking those actions.
Those are awesome extra takeaways
