majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of
him in Psalm 144:3,
"O Lord, what is man that you care for him, the son of man that you
think of him?"
Here is a riveting question that brings out an astonishing truth.
God's love of mankind is inexplicable, boundless, its dimensions
difficult to comprehend. Paul even tells us that to understand the
width, length, height and depth of the love of Christ requires power
and results in us being "filled to the measure of all the fullness of
God." Ephesians 3:17-19. He prayed for this power for his readers.
What is so astonishing about this love of God for man is that man
turned his back on God, rejecting him and going his own way in sin and
rebellion. Although the judgement of God is horrific in its scope and
breadth, he nevertheless expressed an incomprehensible love of mankind
by sending his own Son to die a miserable death to make a way for us
back to him. God's justice will be satisfied and he visited that
justice on his own Son on our behalf that we not experience his
judgement. What a love this is!
"What is man that you care for him?"
I will certainly never comprehend this love of God for us, but I
strive to know of it.
Anything of the Lord capture your heart from Scripture today? Share
your thoughts of worship with us from your Bible reading today. We'd
love to hear from you!
