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 honour. (Psalm 8)
(h/t Saturday EV)
Very cool – except the last bit about being insignificant! Glad you provided perspective with the Psalm.
hey man,
was thinking there’d be no comment love today… thanks for sharing!!
i think it’s helpful to have both parts.
in the big picture of the universe… we are oh so small!!!
which is what makes Psalm 8 and the incarnation and cross of Jesus so significant!!!
praise God.
Yeah but the interesting thing is that when you look at quantum physics and how small things can get, guess what size falls slap bang in the middle? Man.
I once read that the universe has to be the size it is to be able to produce the heavy element carbon – of which our bodies contain a stack of!
The following verse then makes sense:
“He sits enthroned above the circle of the earth, and its people are like grasshoppers. He stretches out the heavens like a canopy, and spreads them out like a tent to live in.” Isa 40:22
I find it ironic that the universe is God’s tent – then He places our tent of a body to live in it. The anthropic principle….
