Of Everything God Made, you are His Favorite

Read Psalm 8:5

Today’s Truth

The same God who created a never-ending kaleidoscope of sunsets, oceans, jungles, and stars set apart sinful humans as His favorites. Psalm 8:5 says He has "crowned [us] with glory and honor," and we did nothing to deserve it.

God made us in His image (Genesis 1:27). He is mindful of us. He knows every hair on our heads, and He cares for us by providing for our basic needs (Matthew 6:25-32).

Discussion Questions

Who or what do you love most? How far would you go to show them your love?
How does knowing God thinks of you that way change your perspective of Him?

Application

Jesus became fully human and sacrificed Himself so we could have a relationship with God. Through Jesus' sacrifice, our sin debt is paid. Being "mindful of [us]" sounds like an understatement in light of God's great plan. He placed us as the centerpiece of His thoughts and divine will. This is extraordinary love.

About the Author

Chuck Adair

If you ask Chuck his favorite thing in life to do, he would tell you it is the teaching and preaching of the scriptures and to call all people to engage in the great adventure of abiding with Christ. He desires to connect people with the richness, adventure, and fullness of life that comes through Christ alone and to reach the unchurched, de-churched, dead-churched, and unmoved. Chuck is married to his best friend Kristin and has two adult children, Taylor and Linley. Kris and Chuck believe the quality of their marriage rises and falls, not on circumstances or feelings, but based on their daily abiding with Jesus (Jn 15.5).
