We are among seven billion people who coexist on a tiny planet that resides in a small section of a rather insignificant solar system. Our earth, in reality, is just one minuscule blue dot among millions of celestial bodies that God created. On the gigantic canvas that is our universe, our beautiful, majestic Earth appears as a tiny speck of dust. That could make us feel extremely unimportant and inconsequential.
However, God's Word suggests that just the opposite is true. Our great God, who "measured the waters in the hollow of his hand" (Isa. 40:12), has singled out each person on this planet as supremely important, for we are made in His image. For instance, He has created everything for us to enjoy (1 Tim. 6:17). Also, for all who have trusted Jesus as Savior, God has given purpose (Eph. 2:10). And then there's this: Despite the vastness of this world, God cares specifically about each of us.
Psalm 139 says He knows what we are going to say and what we are thinking. We can't escape His presence, and He planned our earthly existence before we were born. We don't need to feel unimportant when the God of the universe is that interested in us! The God who created the universe is the God who loves you.
