“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 mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭8:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


When I was a little girl, we used to sing the song, “Does Jesus Care?” In the verses, the song considers whether Jesus cares in different situations of hurt and/or loss: losing a loved one, personal failure, confusion and heartbreak. The chorus gives this jubilant answer:


“O yes, He cares, I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief. When the days are weary, the long night dreary, I know my Savior cares.”


I loved when we (my brother, sister, and I) sang that song. Somehow, thinking about the Lord caring for me always brought me to tears.


My father apparently felt the same way. On more than one occasion, he would have us sing this song for nearly the whole service. I can remember how he would join in with our singing, lifting his large hand into the air and shaking it, as he sang the words, “O yes He cares; I know He cares.” You see, my father never lost the thrill of the fact that the Lord cared enough for him to call him out of sin, asking him that day on Seal Beach (when he was just a teenager), “Where will you stay in eternity?”


Another person who never lost the awe of God’s care was David.


In our opening selection from David’s psalms, we see David expressing awe and wonder that our mighty Creator, the Lord, would actually care for mankind.


Indeed, David would elsewhere rehearse his awe provoked by God’s attention to our seemingly insignificant lives.


“Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him? Man is like a breath; His days are like a passing shadow.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭144:3-4‬ ‭NKJV‬‬


In another psalm, David marvels at the ignorance of those who dismiss God’s ability to know and care about what they are doing.


““The Lord isn’t looking,” they say, “and besides, the God of Israel doesn’t care.” Think again, you fools! When will you finally catch on? Is he deaf—the one who made your ears? Is he blind—the one who formed your eyes?”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭94:7-9‬ ‭NLT‬‬


Friend, if you have times (as many do) when you feel insignificant, take a few moments and consider the vastness and splendor of God‘s creation. And with that, consider the fact that He not only knows and cares about us, He proved it by taking on an envelope of flesh to dwell among us. Additionally, He willingly suffered, died, and rose again, making the way for our freedom from Sin and the ability to be reconnected to His own never-ending life!


For today let us know and understand what David knew:


The Almighty God cares for us!


Peace to you.

Jesus is coming! Get ready for Him!
