In our psalm for Sunday, Psalm 8 , the psalmist looks up and out at all that God has created and can’t help but offer praise! But it is not long before the praise turns to questions. The longer he looks up at the heavens the more aware he becomes of just how small he is in comparison. Naturally he can’t help but ask, “What are humans that you are mindful of them?” Creation is beautiful but bewildering. There is lot we don’t know and can’t explain about God’s creation. There is a lot we never will be able to explain. Our God is beyond explanation. So rather than get lost in what we don’t know. Let’s celebrate the mystery and what we do know. What do we know? We know that even as vast as the universe is, we do matter to God. We know that God is mindful of us. Now, that’s A Mysterious Mind-full to ponder!
