Made for Himself

SEPTEMBER 2, 2020

Lord, what is man, that You take knowledge of him? Or the son of man, that You are mindful of him?
Psalm 144:3

Recommended Reading: Genesis 1:26-27

By the end of 2020, the population of the world will be more than 7.8 billion people—of which you are one individual. If that isn’t humbling enough, consider this: Recent estimates show that the total number of people who have ever lived on planet earth range from 90–110 billion. And again, each one of us is a single individual in that vast number. Numbers that large make us think of sand on the seashore or stars in the heavens.

Yet, in spite of the seeming insignificance of a single human life, Jesus taught that God sees every sparrow that falls and knows the number of hairs on your head (Luke 12:6-7). Such truths made the psalmist, David, look into the heavens and wonder how it could be possible for the mighty God who created the world and everything in it to know and care for him (Psalm 8:3-4). David also wrote that God knows us because He fashioned us, individually, in our mother’s womb (Psalm 139:13-14).

You may be only one, but you are a unique and precious one to God. He created you for Himself!

You made us for yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless till they rest in You.

Augustine
