Psalm 8: 4 (KJV)
What is man that You are mindful of him, And the son of man that You visit him?
God desires intimacy with man. Man was made in His image and likeness. God often visited Adam and Even in the garden of Eden, in the cool of the day to fellowship with them. God is desirous of men. God’s obsession is to fellowship with mankind.
The heart of God yearns for intimacy with man, the heart of God longs for intimacy with his children. This is the Father-heart of God
God is so mindful and obsessed with man, that he had to become man. The monarch of the universe, the king of heaven and earth, the eternal elixir; He left all of the glories of heaven; the Word became flesh and dwelt among us. The glory of the Father in all fullness came down to dwell among men.
Think of it, what is man that God would become man? Not only did he become man, He also died for man, and placed his Spirit to dwell in man. This is climax of all new creation realties. The indwelling presence!
Man is God’s obsession. Fellowshipping with man is God’s desire. Man was made for his pleasure. Angels angels could not bring so much pleasure to God as much as man would, He didn’t die for angels, but for man. God is mindful man; all of God’s design, thoughts, plans are for man.
Psalm 8: 5 (KJV)
5 For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.
6 You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet,
God gave man dominion. Through the first man, Adam, we gained Adamic Authority.
God gave the earth to man, and the dominion over the earth. God didn’t give the dominion to Satan, though Satan was in the world as a fallen angel, because God willed the world to man; hence, the Adamic authority was higher than the angelic authority as far as the earth was concerned.
But man sinned, and due to the fall of man, man lost his Adamic Authority to angelic authority, I mean to the fallen angels who lost their former estate in heaven. He weakens men and nations.
Isaiah 14:12 (KJV)
How are thou fallen O Lucifer, How are cut down Lucifer you son of the morning; you who weaken the nations
But there is good news. What was lost in Eden through disobedience of Adam, was gained by Christ’s obedience in His death, burial and resurrection. Eden is no more a place of our dwelling, we have a better city. Christ is not just a person, He is a place, Christ is an address. That place is Zion, in Zion, angel are ministering to us, we who are the heirs of salvation. God gives his angels charge over us.
Today, be rest assured that God is mindful of you!
