This is from the "Daily Light" devotional. He spoke and the galaxies appeared! I really enjoyed this and it was a little reminder of Who it is we are getting to know. These days many are enamored with comic book superheros (a childish thing carried over from our youth). But we are interacting with One who speaks and galaxies are created and life proceeds from His very breath!
And what is important to the Mighty One? Man! His love is all wrapped-up in us, so much so that God was manifested in human flesh! Oh what a thought! His love and focus was toward man, to bring us back into relationship with Him. He is our exceeding great reward! (Gen 15:1) "He stretched out the heavens, laid the foundation of the earth, and formed the spirit of man within him." (Zech 12:1)
Indeed, "what is man that thou art mindful of him?"
Quote:
EVENING MARCH 15
The LORD made the heavens and' the earth,
the sea, and all that is in them.
The heavens declare the glory of God; and the
firmament shows His handiwork. By the word
of the LORD the heavens were made, and all the
host of them by the breath of His mouth. For He
spoke, and it was done; He commanded; and it
stood fast. Behold the nations are as a drop
in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust
on the scales; look, He lifts up the isles as a very
little thing.
By faith we understand that the worlds were
framed by the word of God, so that the things
which are seen were not made of things which
are visible.
When I consider Your heavens, the work of
Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You
have ordained, what is man that You are mind-
ful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?
Exo 20:11; Ps. 19:1; Ps. 33:6 & 9; Isa 40:15; Heb 11:3; Ps 8:3-4
