The daily verse for 8/4 is Psalm 8:4, "what are human beings, that you think of them; mere mortals, that you care for them?" GNT
In this psalm, David is recognising and praising our God, who created people to rule over His creation. To think that the mighty all-powerful God of the universe thinks of us and cares so much for us is sometimes mind-boggling. David was right. Who are we? We are the ones He loves. How very blessed we are.
The Message translation says this so beautifully, starting with verse 3 and continuing through verse 4, "I look up at your macro-skies, dark and enormous, your handmade sky-jewelry, Moon and stars mounted in their settings. Then I look at my micro-self and wonder, Why do you bother with us? Why take a second look our way?
That's pretty poetic, but it's not justice. No, we get way more from our Creator than we deserve. Though we are small, His love for us is oh so BIG!
