S –  What is a human being that you remember him, a son of man that you look after him? 

⁵ You made him little less than God^, and crowned him with glory and honor.

Psalms  8:4–5 CSB

O – Commentary:

The rhetorical questions in verse 4 emphasize that man is an insignificant creature in the universe (cf. 144:3). Yet God cares for him immensely. It amazed David that the Lord of the universe even thinks about man.

Man was created as God’s own representative on earth, over the Creation, but lower than God. David was amazed that God should exalt finite man to such a place of honor.

“Psalms,” in The Bible Knowledge Commentary: An Exposition of the Scriptures

A – In the expanse of all that is created, humans are a small part of the whole picture. Yet, we are made in God’s image and the one creation God chose to be in a relationship with intimately.  We need to desire God as much as He desires us.

R – Heavenly Father, thank you for loving us enough to create us in Your likeness.  Thank you for desiring a relationship with us.  We invite you today to lead us to walk with You and in your purposes.  Reveal more of your character so we may know You more and take on those same qualities.
