3 Chapt 8:3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, 4 what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?[c]
These 2 verses continue on the theme of out of all the universe, its hard to get my head around the fact that he cares so much for me and knows me personally.
Chapt 9:9 The Lord is a refuge for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those who know your name trust in you, for you, Lord, have never forsaken those who seek you.
I wouldn't say I've gone through troubled times, but at the same time I have my own little concerns in life and he tells me here if I trust in him he will always keep me safe. He doesn't promise to do what I want but at the same time he let's me know he will never abandon me, I'll never be alone.

when I read thing like the first verse you pulled out, it gives me a glimpse of the size of God. I don't always look at him that way. I usually am picuturing him as a friend of mine.....my own scale. But, he's not....
ReplyDelete14 Whoever is pregnant with evil
conceives trouble and gives birth to disillusionment.
15 Whoever digs a hole and scoops it out
falls into the pit they have made.
16 The trouble they cause recoils on them;
their violence comes down on their own heads.
This struck me as a little bit of a KARMA type reference. Interesting.
