Devotion:
Read Psalm 8.
As we begin a new year, this Psalm is a great reminder of who God is and who God has made us to be. When we look at all of creation, we wonder how God could be concerned for people who constantly disappoint him. Yet God created us only a little lower than himself or the angels! The next time you question your worth as a person, remember that God considers you highly valuable. We have great worth because we bear the image of the Creator himself. Because God has already declared how valuable we are to him, we can be set free from feelings of worthlessness. God has a plan for each one of us. You may not be able to see his purpose or plan, but rest assured that the Lord of heaven is on his throne and in firm control of the universe and our lives.
Personal Worship Option:
Loving Father, you made me, so you know very well who I am. Despite my ordinariness, I belong to you - and you are anything but ordinary! Help me pour out your grace and compassion on others that they too may experience the richness of your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
