"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." Genesis 1:27 (NIV)

Right now I'm wondering about the God who is so powerful that He can control the stars, the sun, the wind and the water.  Why would He ever want to come down to my level and care for me.  

Why would the God who created the world, bend down and breathe life into His created man?  It seems so strange that God would bend down from the heights of heaven for someone so small and so helpless as man.

Soon I'll be spending time studying with a group of ladies, the lessons by Beth Moore, called "Chasing Vines."

I cheated and began reading the student book.  The first pages I read brought thoughts of God's work in creating mankind.  He made man out of the dust of the ground - out of dirt.  That's a picture that hadn't come to mind for me in the past.  "Out of Dirt."  

Thinking of the value of dirt in growing living things, I'd be interested to know what picture that brings to your mind.

But for now - 

We're told of the God who is King of the earth.

and we picture His majesty, power and worth.

We speak of His glory, 

We're awed by the sight.

We speak of His infinite knowledge and might.

Yes, 

Over all things He's master.

Over all things He reigns.

He's Lord of the universe and all it contains.

But 

That God of the universe made you and me.

And in order to know Him, His love I must see.

Not only the majesty, power and worth,

But His care and compassion for the children on earth.

"How priceless is your unfailing love, O God! People take refuge in the shadow of your wings." Psalm 36:7  (NIV)

He is so good.
