Being Human Psalm 8:1-5

There are times when I find myself at the top of a mountain after a long hike or at the shoreline of the ocean, and I am struck by the grandeur of God’s creation. I feel small. And while I may literally be smaller, I am no less significant because I, too, am a part of the grandeur of God’s creation!

Whether or not we feel worthy, the fact remains that God created us, God knows and loves us, and we are important to God. I wonder how we can reflect the radiance of God’s wonderful creation—us!

For me, that task begins with glorifying God every single day. Don’t get me wrong, I often fall short, but when I try to glorify God and remember that God created me, it is easier to be loving, patient, and kind in all that I do. As we bask in God’s creations and look for ways to care for it, let us also bask in our own human capacity, truly one of God’s most magnificent works.
