“What is man that thou art mindful of him…Thou
hast made him to have dominion over the works of thy hands…” Psa 8:4 & 6
To
be mindful is to mark something for
purpose, to imply as useful. We have great worth because we bear the stamp of
God Himself. To honor God’s majesty, we
must compare ourselves to His greatness. In doing so we feel small by comparison,
but God does not want us to dwell on our smallness. Humility means proper
respect and acknowledgment of God, not self-deprecation. Our worth to God is so
great He appointed us with dominion over the works of His hands; creating a
value worthy of Him crowning us with glory and honor (vs 5). In Heb 2:9, we see
Jesus was set a little below the angels as well and likewise is exalted and
crowned with glory and honor with dominion over God’s works for the purpose
that He should taste death for every man. To be mindful is to be purposeful and
Christ greatest purpose was the redemption of God’s greatest work; the souls of
man. If we too are mindful (purposeful) of and for God, should we not, like
Christ, be mindful for the souls of man as well?
If
we are sent by Christ as Christ was sent by the Father, then we should be doing
what the Father sent Christ TO DO!
