Meditating on our Significance

I specifically created this 3d image to stress one Scripture that inspires us to examine ourselves in comparison to celestial creations. Such awe-inspiring heavenly bodies tell us about the Great Creator who placed them up there for us to marvel at and enjoy  in the dark of the night. If we look at them, we can see that we are just like tiny dusts in the vast universe that is filled with gargantuan creations, so insignificant as it seems. But then, behind all these creations, along with all the other earthly ones, there is a powerful message that our Creator is trying to instill in our hearts and minds: WE ARE NOT INSIGNIFICANT AT ALL BUT ARE PRECIOUS IN GOD'S EYES. He highly values us so that He took the initiative to provide the means for our eternal salvation - that of his giving his beloved only-begotten Son. He let him die in our behalf so that we can live forever.

"When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,
The moon and the stars that you have prepared,
What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,
And the son of earthling man that you take care of him?"

- Psalm 8:3,4 


And yes, God takes good care of us and sees to it that we have the power to overcome obstacles that might get in our way to His promised Paradise. All we need to do is humbly submit to His sovereignty and obediently follow His direction.
