In Psalm 8, David marveled at the stars.
And as he did so, he considered God&#8217;s power.
&#8216;What is man,&#8217; David asked, that God should care for him?
In other words, why would a God so big care for people so small?
And yet, He does.
In today&#8217;s text, we&#8217;ll consider the towering yet tender nature of our God.
Questions That We&#8217;ll Answer:
A) What is so striking about Psalm 8?
B) Why does David focus on the &#8216;name&#8217; of God?
C) What proof do you have that God loves you?
