Meditation Psalm 39: Gods Grandeur and our smallness

“Show me, O Lord, my life's end

and the number of my days;

let me know how fleeting is my life.

You have made my days a mere handbreadth;

the span of my years is as nothing before you.

Each man's life is but a breath.

Selah

Man is a mere phantom as he goes to and fro:

He bustles about, but only in vain;

he heaps up wealth, not knowing who will get it.

“But now, Lord, what do I look for?

My hope is in you. (Psalm 39:4-7 NIV84)

Today God reminded me how majestic and mighty and great he is. For he is creator of all the universe and all life. We humans are so small. We are often so selfish and prideful. We think we are the center of it all that our friends our job the church, the world and even You God are all about us. But God this is all for your glory by ours. You bless us with joy and salvation not because we matter but because of your great love. For in all the universe you know the name of every star and every hope and sin in each persons heart. Jesus you died for us in our smallness because of your majesty!

Lord humble me to know how gran and powerful you are and how small I am change my heart to rejoice in your low and creation and serve.
