Who Me?

Still on my psalms kick. I don\’t know what it is but I really cant get in to any other reading than the psalms for some reason. I don\’t know if it is just simple enough for me to understand or what but anytime I try to dive in to a passage that is not the psalms then I have my mind go blank. Oh well…

I do into this weird trance every once and a while. It is a very odd state of mind and extremely hard to explain. I feel so small and helpless, and I also look at other people and wonder how they can possibly put such arrogance on them selves. It really almost could have nothing to do with God in a sense. If you just think of the size of the world or even the universe. It is incredible how small we actually are. Its almost like watching that one video about the guy that shows how big our universe is and how there are multiple universe. Anyways i feel like i am just rambling so i will get back to the point. I get in these trances where I feel tiny and ask the question why me? With all these people in the world why me? Why am i blessed the way that I am? Why and how am I who i am? I am so small.

I was reading Psalms 8 and the passage struck me like those random trances do.

Psalm 8:1-9 (NIV)
O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. [2] From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. [3] When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, [4] what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him? [5] You made him a little lower than the heavenly beings and crowned him with glory and honor. [6] You made him ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under his feet: [7] all flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, [8] the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. [9] O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

What God has created is so incredible. It is more incredible than I think we give credit to. Definitely more incredible than I give hime credit for. I feel like I should be in constant awe of everything that is around me. It is really unbelievable the things that he does for us and around us. Then on the other side my contributions to the world are so tiny compared to his and yet he give me beyond more attention than I should every get. He is mindful of me! Yes, ME! He thinks about me. This small broken fallen piece of failure he knows by name. And he blesses me! Why? Because he is incredibly unbelievably perfect and gracious and caring and kind. I have more than enough things and yet on a daily basis I complain about not having enough. Get over your self Joel!

We are so big in his eyes. He never over looks us, or losses us. He is always mindful of us. What an incredible God that we have. I should have nothing but a constant awe of him!
