The God of majesty and might, who flung the stars and moon
into the sky and with infinite imagination created all creatures great and
small is mindful of mortals. It’s a good thing because the crown of creation
has chaffed at being a “little lower than God” and desiring more glory and
honor has generally made a mess of things. But being mindful of us does not
mean keeping an eye on humanity as if the majestic name needed to watch us to
keep us in line. It means that we occupy a place of affection and as such are
always on God’s mind and in God’s heart. On the other hand the “works of God’s
hands” could use a little relief from human domination and I imagine a good bit
of creation “under our feet” wishes we would walk a little more softly. Maybe
we should be more mindful of things created a little lower than us in the same
way God thinks of things created a little lower than God.
