What is man? (人算什么?)

The sermon topic on Sunday " Looking up at the moon that God had hung in the sky". The speaker remind us, what is man? I think the Chinese translation will explain in better <人算什么?> When we look at the the celestial, we see the magnificent sight the heaven holds; the stars twinkling in the sky, the moon shining up in heaven. It really makes us wonder, what are we? We are so tiny compare to all these. If God had not bless and interact with us, what are we?

In Psalm King David wrote, " When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him? Yet you have made him a little lower than the heavenly beings an crowned him with glory and honor. You have given him dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under his feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beast of the field, the birds of heavens and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the sea." Psalm 8:3-8

In the end what can we say? King David ended with this sentence, " O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all earth." He praised Him and return all glory and honor back to God. That makes we ponder how could I return all glory and honor back to God in my daily life.

My nephew is so cute, today when we are going back home his mummy gave him a backpack to carry, oh boy, does he look cute in it. That little boy is a creation of God and it fully fit how I feel when I wrote the top post "人算什么?"
Tristan trying to spin around with his backpack

"Hmmm, which shoe goes well with my Ben Ten backpack?"

"ok really to go now, can't find any shoe that goes with my backpack"

Isn't he cute? Should also see him walk with that bag, can't really describe it with words, quote from the Mac'donald ads, " It's like ahhh, you know, when he walk it's like ahhh, you know." Must see to realize how cute he is.
