What is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of [earthborn] man that You care for him?
Your Loving Father is full of majesty. He is majestic in power, in splendor, in glory, in works, and in holiness. He is incomparable and omnipotent. There is no God like the Lord God Almighty [Psalms 8:1,9]. Yet, He is mindful of man. He cares so much for man and He is attentive to the well being and details of man. The Psalmist said the above verse of scripture as He wondered how such a majestic God could be mindful of mere man who does not deserve it.
Your Loving Father is mindful of you. "Mindful" is a covenant word. God does not forget you. He eternally remembers you as He does all men. He remembers the covenant He has established with Adam, with Abraham, and with all their descendants. Because God is "mindful," all that He has promised must come to pass as it happened with Abraham and the promised son, bringing Israel into Canaan, and giving David a Son Who would sit on his throne forever. Because God is "mindful," He made every move to restore the relationship between Him and man. He sent His only begotten Son into the world, not to condemn the world but to save the world through Him. Now He has given us the present realities of salvation: planting new life within us, converting us, leading us to repentance and faith, uniting us to Christ, sanctifying us, and forging us into the communion of saints.
God is mindful of you. You can be rest assured that He will bring to fulfillment all the beautiful promises He has given you.
Prayer: My Loving Father, who am I that You, in all Your holiness, majesty and awesomeness, You are mindful of me? It only goes to show how much You love me. Thank You my Father. I am assured that You will bring to fulfillment all the precious promises You have made concerning me in this present life and in the future life to come. Thank You Father. Amen.
