Psalm 144:3 ” O Lord, what is man that You care for him…”

In the great vastness of the universe, and against the backdrop of the sheer greatness of God, our lives are insignificant within God’s grand scheme…but yet it says in this Scripture that He not only cares for , but knows us intimately. Elsewhere in Psalms, the term of God “caring for us” is used in Psalm 8:4, but with a different Hebrew word…this one meaning God’s loving & beneficial actions directed towards His people. And in Hebrews 2:6, we find the Writer quoting Psalm 8:4 but using a variant Greek word with even more meaning for “care for”. Here its intent is looking upon the person with mercy & compassion, looking after their needs, and taking care of them. We have been created in the image of God and because of that, as Believers, we’ve been exalted in status to be “‘cared for” by our Heavenly Father. And so in turn, we can implement, use, & learn from God’s “caring for us” template in our own caring for others.
