While messing around with my new macro lens this morning, I was amazed to see the clarity and minute details that it captured. Microscopic dew drops, tiny insects and the myriad of hidden from the human eye minutiae of creation. It took my breath away to see a world of wonder that I had previously stepped on and ignored. In the pecking order of earthly creatures, we humans think quite highly of ourselves. We’re bigger and smarter, and didn’t the Bible say that we have dominion over everything? It’s easy to see how mankind has gotten a pretty big head.
But, let’s step back for a moment, and put human life in perspective. In comparison to the vastness of the universe we wouldn’t even be visible through a macro lens. This theme has been repeated through out scripture, take for example King David’s query in Psalm 144:3. “O LORD, what are human beings that you should notice them, mere mortals that you should think about them?”
There will always be those who see God as mean, detached and constantly hurling down pain and suffering on man, but I disagree…strongly!! Why He even became one of us to experience life from our perspective. What other “god” is like our God? And would an unfeeling deity give his human life in ransom for unimportant one? I think not. True, we may be dinky, when compared to the universe, but we are huge, and beautiful in his eyes
