What is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8:4
God is the creator of all things. He created a vast universe from nothing and fine tuned it so that life could exist. The slightest variation of the universe and its physical laws, and there would be no life. He created man and gave him dominion over all living things.
Why would the Sovereign Creator of the Universe; Omniscient, Omnipotent, and Omnipresent Lord of All Things, pay so much attention to sinful man? Why is man able to call upon His Name? Why does He bless man abundantly?
Why did he send His Son to save us from our sin, committing the greatest sacrifice ever committed? Why suffer on our account, and why forgive us when we are not capable of obedience?
The Westminster Confessions says that “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and enjoy Him forever.” We were created to glorify God, and enjoy Him. Why did God create us for this purpose? He did not need us. He was not lonely. He created us because He is God, and creating us in His image suited His purposes. We cannot completely understand His purpose in creating us, but we know from His word, and from the evidence that is so apparent to us in the universe that He did. And we know from His word that we are to glorify Him.
Only an all-powerful, all-knowing God could create everything and have the capacity to love me, pay attention to me, and hear me. God is mindful of man because he is God, and we should glorify Him.
