My 13th

May 13th -- Psalm 8 (http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%208&version=NLT)

Not going to summarize, again, so please read it on your own through the link or in your Bible.

Okay, does it ever just hit you in the face sometimes that God cares about you? Yes, the guy who made the heavens and the earth. He's outside of time, He's impossible yet He is, and He has every moment of existence written. Yet, he cares about you. Really, though, who are we that he should bother? Each one of us is one of 7 billion or so on the planet. That's people, only. God's in charge of the plants, animals, earth and water, moon and stars, and everything else, too. We're like a speck of dust on the surface on the earth in a whole galaxy. Scientifically, each of us is tiny and simply insignificant. We're nothing, according to science. We're just a pile of cells that made tissues, that made organs, in a working, walking, talking if sometimes rickety contraption of a body. We simply decompose and are recycled into some sort of magical cycle of all living things when we die. That's all we are to science. Now, God's much bigger than science, but we still matter to Him. Each of us, individually, for every moment of our lives here, matters to Him - enough that He had His only son die on the cross, bearing all our sins, so we would not be condemned to Hell for them (if we choose that redemption). Instead of leaving us, though, insignificant pieces of the cycle as credited by science, He loves us, even setting us just a little below him and the angels. He is so incredible. There are really just no words to describe God. I mean, have you ever sat and just looked at stars. They're gorgeous. Even cooler, though? They make noises. Yep. They basically sing. I watched this incredible Louis Giglio video in school once, and I still love it. Check it out here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7zWKm-LZWm4    My point is, though, never forget how incredible our God is. Yes, OUR God. He's OUR God. We can call Him ours. That on it's own is amazing, even without the rest. So, when you feel overwhelmed, or upset, just take a minute. Look at the sky, and all the tones of blue in it and the clouds and how they are shaped, or even just look at your hand with all its complex and intricate lines running through it, unique to each person. Let them remind you of how incredible our God is, then remember He is your God and my God - OUR God. He is always with you. He will never leave you. His majestic name fills the earth.

God bless! Shalom!
