Who You Are Bible in a Year: Joel 1–3 Revelation 5 What is mankind that you are mindful of them? Psalm 8:4 Today's Scripture & Insight: Psalm 8 His name is Dnyan, and he considers himself a student of the world. And “this is a very big school,” he says of all the cities and towns he’s passed through. He began a four-year journey on his bicycle in 2016 to meet and learn from people. When there’s a language barrier, he finds that sometimes people can understand just by looking at each other. He also depends on a translation app on his phone to communicate. He doesn’t measure his journey in the miles he’s traveled or the sights he’s seen. Instead, he measures it in the people who’ve left an imprint on his heart: “Maybe I do not know your language, but I would like to find out who you are.” It’s a very big world, yet God knows everything about it and the people in it—fully and completely. The psalmist David was in awe of God when he considered all the works of His hands: the making of the heavens, the moon, and the stars (Psalm 8:3). He wondered, “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (v. 4). God knows you more thoroughly than anyone else possibly can and He cares for you. We can only respond, “Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (vv. 1, 9). Reflect & Pray How do you feel knowing that God knows all about you and loves you? What does believing this truth look like in your life today? Dear God, it’s awesome to realize that You’re all-knowing about Your whole creation. I love You for knowing me personally too.

I would like to believe that when we realize how God does know us so completely, and still loves us, that we would begin to behave more as He would have us behave, and treat others better. It helps when we keep our focus on the Lord and not the people or circumstances around us. The Lord said out of the abundance of our hearts, our mouths speak, or as my gramma always said that actions speak louder than words. When I realize that God knows my every action and thought, it makes me more conscience of them too. Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

Quite a few years back, I was was a group of 12 Step Friends and we drove to Mexico. We decided to attend a 12 Step meeting in Ensenada. There was a man who was new to recovery. I could see the scared shaky look in his eyes. I have seen this look many times in individuals throughout the years. I watches as the older members reach out to this man. Suddenly there was a feeling of hope and safety in the room and it showed in the man's demeaner. I didn't understand Spanish all that well but I understood the energy in that meeting. I remember a sign that hung up on the wall. "Poco a poco vamos lejos" Little by little we go far. Abracadabra
