Shalom,
Today I want to share this devotional from Jerry Savelle Ministries website.
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 mankind that you are mindful
of them, human beings, that you care for them? You made them a
little lower than the angels, and crowned them 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! We are, of ALL people, MOST BLESSED! Here is Brandon Lake with "That's Who I Praise":
Shalom in Him!
