The Moon Eclipse and Me.

This week the world viewed a lunar eclipse.  Lee & I were awake at 4 am for some reason and so we decided to watch as much of the eclipse as we could until our horizon blocked the finished eclipse.
The temperature was cool but not uncomfortable, so I stayed outside and just looked up.  The stars were sparkling and the moon was beginning to be blotted out for a short time.  I had the binoculars so I studied the heavens.  The more I studied the smaller I felt. and the Lord brought to mind,

What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You visit him?
 For You have made him a little lower than the angels,[a]
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
You have put all things under his feet,

All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,

The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea

         That pass through the paths of the seas.   Psalm 8:4-8.

Indeed what is man? What am I? Why would a God that hung everyone of those stars in place and knows them by name, caused the eclipse I was viewing, be mindful of me.  Yet scripture tells me and reassures me that He, the God of the universe, knows me intimately.  He knows my name, he knows the number of hairs on my head.  He loves me completely, from my beginning to my earthly end and into an eternity spent with Him in heaven.  Ok absolutely overwhelmed.

My God is so BIG yet so personal, he knows the needs that Lee has with his heart. He has gifted doctors and nurses to care for him.  He knows that I need my Savior more than I can speak of. He knows the needs of my children as they prepare for this upcoming surgery. He knows it ALL, which means I don't have to know it all.

Trust. I must trust the God who hung those stars, the moon.  The one who knows me better than I know myself.  The One who holds my life, holds the love of my life, Lee, holds my children, holds my grands, holds the world.

What is Debbie that You are mindful of me?
