What is man, that Thou art mindful of him?
Man is truly a magnificent creature, far above the animal creations around him. There is no “missing link”. But a great gulf is fixed between the highest beast and man, for God has given man the awesome power of being able to say no to God as well as an effective yes. In your own interests, may I ask which are you saying to God now?
What does God care about this little world of ours compared with the vastness of the mighty universe?
Think of our own solar system, with the planet Neptune 30 times as far away from the sun as Earth, so that it takes 164 of our years to make 1 of Neptune’s, and beyond this, suns with planets revolving around them as our solar system revolves around the sun! Of what importance can Earth be to God, and of how much less importance can man be?
So said the astronomer as the faith of his youth fled – this is what the telescope had done for him. The vastness of the heavens had robbed him of faith in his mother’s God, for how could God trouble Himself with man, who is less than a grain of sand in comparison?
But his thirst for knowledge would not let him rest. The heavens were available for study only at night; how should the free hours of the day be spent? Why not a microscope? And lo! Worlds were opened at his feet – worlds as wonderful as those above, and slowly his faith came back. Yes, the God who could attend to such minute details as to make a drop of ditch water throb with miniature life, was sure to be interested in man, the highest form of His creation. The man found balance instead of bias, and balance brought him back to God. John 3:16 was true after all.
Thought: We love Him, because He first loved us.
Prayer: Make me worthy of Your love, O God.
