What is Man
“What is man, that thou art mindful of him? And the son of man that thou visitest him,” Psalm 8:4. A question I found myself asking this morning. But David went on to say in verse 5, “for thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.”
After a beautiful week at my sisters house in New York, I got caught up with this question, what is man that Thou O God hart mindful of him? My sister and her husband of 30 years decided to renew their vows and I went there to give them a culinary experience. But the experience was truly mine! They have a beautiful home with a dream backyard full of trees and flowers. This backyard produced a tranquility I needed.
Man speaks of our frailty. The son of man is translated in Hebrew as, the son of Adam. Why is it that the great big God of the universe cares for us knowing our frailty? We are so needy, so sinful, so polluted in our thoughts, unappreciative and unbelieving. Why have you given us so much power, dominion, glory and honor, knowing we would and will mess things up? Why do you visit us and call us friends?
God’s constant visitation to man shows His unconditional love for us. It shows His continual care, even when we don’t recognize it. God’s timing is so perfect that He knew I needed the tranquility I experienced. Thank you God! You may be going throw an unstable time in your life right now, be mindful that you are favored by God. Look around you, He has placed a measure of tranquility to help you through this time.
God Bless.
