What Is Man That You Are Mindful Of Him

October 20.  What Is Man That You Are Mindful Of Him
         

This is a verse from king David’s psalm, Psalm 8:4 in the Bible. King David is in awe of all that God created by himself, human beings, the moon and the stars, the universe and much more, he observes that the human beings are small in comparison to all that He created, yet God remembers, cares and thinks about all of his creation and loves the human beings He created. 

At creation, God spoke all creation into existence except man, He spent 6 days speaking the elements, the food crops and the cash crops, all the animals on land, in the sea and in the air into being. He designed and built the garden of Eden, equipped it with all that man needed to live a very comfortable life. He created Adam from dust to give him a form and He put his breath into him and he became a man. God made him in his own likeness and image and put him in the beautiful garden He had created for him. God gave man dominion over all the things that He created. God saw that Adam needed a helpmate and He created Eve from the ribs of Adam. 

In the account of God’s creation, He gave special attention to the man He created. God did not speak man into being He created him and poured out Himself into him so that He could have a special intimate relationship with him. 

To be mindful of man is to care for the man He created. God is so mindful of man that He gave man dominion over all the things he had created. God is mindful of man that He visited Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden, what an awesome loving God. 

 In the bible, a fool is described as someone who is relying on his own ability and hardens his heart against God’s teachings and God’s ways. The book of Proverbs 1:7 teaches us that true wisdom is not measured in our abilities but in the relationship we have with the Lord. As believers the fear of the Lord is a holy reverence for his power and holiness. We are encouraged to fear the Lord and be aligned with his power, authority and believe that His Word is the final authority regardless of how we feel. In all his dealings with man our Lord has treated us with utmost respect and mercy, that He gave his only begotten Son to die that we may be reconciled with Him and receive eternal life. Our God has laid the foundation of an intimate relationship with Him. Remember that The creator and the owner of the universe is very mindful of all the things that concern you. 

Let Us Pray: We are grateful Lord for the foundation You laid that gave us the grace to know you as our Father. May we live our lives completely dependent on you, to walk in fear of you, following your instructions in humility. May we lay down all that we are and follow you more deeply.

YOU ARE A CHILD OF PROMISE

   MAY 1.       Acts: 1: 4-5   The days are going so quickly, I remember that Christmas was celebrated not too long ago and here we are celebrating Good Friday and Easter, the most important days in the Church calendar.   The celebration of our Lord Jesus Christ in this season is purposeful and it is from everlasting to everlasting. Some questions come to my mind, what if our Lord Jesus gave up on his disciples who had betrayed and denied him? What if our Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and decided to take a holiday from the stressful life he had been through? What if he did not leave us the Holy Spirit, our Comforter? The questions are endless and we sure do not have any answers to all of them and many more. We are the reason why our Lord Jesus Christ did not stop to take a rest and did not deny us, forgiving the thief on the cross.   Today we begin to see the enormity of the work our Lord Jesus Christ did for us, from the cross to...

WHO IS GOD TO YOU

  MAY 2.     Deuteronomy 6:4 Our God is an Amazing, Awesome God, The Creator of Heaven and the Earth, There is no one like Him, none to compare with Him, yes He is a perfect God. He is greater than all that he created, unlimited in nature, infinite and he is the God in three persons.   As you are dressed up to go out of your home, you are attired in all that God created including you yourself. Your clothes are made from cotton, silk, your shoes are made from animal skin, your perfume comes from natural oils, your jewellery comes from metals that are found in layers of soil. As you stand, there is nothing on you that was originally made by you.   All of these products were created by God before He created man and gave man dominion over all that He created. - 1 Corinthians 8:6.   Psalm 14 vs 1 AMP says, “The (spiritually) ignorant says in his heart that There is no God!!”   What do we say to that? Question who is God to you? He is the crea...

HOPE IN THE WORLD

Image
  MAY 3.      Romans:5: 4-5   Hope is not wishful thinking; hope is like making a long wish-list and waiting in great anticipation for each of the things you wished for to come through. You will find yourself marking off all the ones that God has answered.   On who are you hinging your hope on? My hope is built on nothing less than Jesus Christ and righteousness; this is the line of a very popular hymn that we all know. Is it true for you, can you let go and know that He who you hope on will not disappoint you. The faith that our hope has in God is the hope that does not disappoint, it transforms our suffering into endurance and our expectations into joy. This is the hope that all faithful believers enjoy, they have peace with God and they feel very secured. This brings the Christ-like character and the absolute abundant grace in our daily living.   Let Us Pray: Heavenly Father we ask to be filled with joy and peace as we are hopeful of yo...
