What is man that
you are mindful of him?
DAILY DWELL
“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!…”
Psalm 8:1
Psalm 8
Lord, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
You have set your glory
in the heavens.…
When I consider your heavens,
the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
human beings that you care for them?
(vv. 1, 3–4)
Reflection Questions
- Have you ever gazed at the grandeur of creation and felt small in comparison? What did you learn about God in that moment? About yourself?
- How does the majesty of God inspire you to be a steward of the world? What questions do you have about your role in God’s Kingdom?
- When you consider the heavens, what do you imagine?
- In Psalm 8, David asks God, “what is mankind that you are mindful of them” (v. 4). Have you ever felt unworthy before God? How does God redeem your feelings of insignificance?
