Scripture
Why do you care so much about humans? Why do you even notice them? – Psalm 8:4 ERV
Devotion
Last year, the Snoep family visited Mesa Verde National Park in southwestern Colorado. The Puebloan people lived there until the 12th century. They built cliff dwellings and other structures in this vast mountainous and arid land.
Through their architecture, you can still get an idea of their knowledge about the night sky and the cycle of seasons throughout the year. Some of their buildings reflect the stars and align with the mighty sky above them.
At night, we got a magnificent view of the night sky. Never had we seen so many stars. Beauty and might! God, Your glory reaches above the heavens (v. 1). We looked at the heavens You made with Your hand. We saw the moon and the stars You put in place (v. 3).
As the Puebloans were capturing a glimpse of that might and beauty in their architecture and calendar, we captured a glimpse of the wisdom of God in the awesome creation of His hand. The wisdom of God can be seen and has been seen by all generations and all people through the ages. All have responded to this wisdom differently. Some with beautiful expressions of art and architecture, others with a response of faith, and some with a denial of the Maker’s existence.
Be in awe of the wisdom in creation. God wants us to see glimpses of Him and recognize Him through what He made. Ponder the question: why does God care so much about humans? Why does God even notice them? Why does God even notice me?
And Now, a word from our sponsor:
Treasury of David,
Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Treasury of David.
This work was first published in weekly installments over a twenty-year span in the London Metropolitan Tabernacle’s periodical, The Sword and the Trowel.
Completed sections were released volume by volume, until the seventh and final volume was released in 1885. Within a decade more than 120,000 sets had been sold. The Treasury of David is a superb literary achievement. Eric Hayden, pastor of the Metropolitan Tabernacle a century after Spurgeon’s ministry began there, calls this work “Spurgeon’s magnum opus.” Spurgeon’s wife said that if Spurgeon had never written any other work, this would have been a permanent literary memorial.
