Today I want to share again from Jerry Savelle's devotional!
YOU ARE GOD’S MOST PRIZED
POSSESSION
When I consider your heavens, the
work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man, that you care for
him? For you made him a little lower than the angels, and crowned him with
glory and honor. (Psalm 8:3-5, NIV)
Have you ever just stopped to
look around at God’s creation? A beautiful evening sunset, a clear, star-filled
night, and the distant terrain of a majestic mountain are sights that take your
breath away.
And yet, as breathtaking as God’s
creation may be, there is something He prizes even more highly than His
creation—you! You are God’s most prized possession. In fact, in His mind you
are His prized possession above the stars, above the moon, above the heavens,
and above all His creative handiwork.
Seeing God as the very Artist of
Creation, the psalmist was asking, “Lord, You’re so magnificent and creative, why
would You have anything to do with man? Why would you be so mindful of him?”
An artist may display the many
wonderful, creative pieces he designs, but there’s always one that is his most
prized possession. As the Artist of Creation, this is the way God feels about
you. You are His most prized possession.
Confession: Thank you,
Father, that You are always mindful of me, thinking thoughts of love, good, and
favor toward me. Thank you that I am your most prized possession.
AMEN! Learn to recognize and appreciate God working on your behalf! His plans for each of us are beyond compare! Here is Hillsong with "Desert Song":
Shalom in Him!
