Sometimes it is hard for me to fathom that God has personal interest in me.  I tend to think He is there overseeing everything but not necessarily a personal interest. Yet Scripture says:

"what is man that you are mindful of him."   Psalm 8:4

The notes in my Bible say:

David was impressed by the astonishing condescension of God to be mindful of puny man.

In my Bible study today it talks of how God is urging me to believe Him.  What a thought.  He didn't just send Christ so that I can believe but He is urging me to believe.  How mind boggling that He has that much interest in me.  Wow.

God doesn't lack anything.  He didn't have to create me and have interest in what I will do, but He did.  In my study today it talked about what happens when we don't believe (note to myself: not just talking about saving belief as I tend to think but instead about a daily believing in Him).

"When we choose not to believe God and follow Him, we all lose.  Might we consider that God has allowed Himself to experience some element of loss?  Neither His plan nor any measure of His glorious essence and authority is lost.  However our part in the plan that He cherished, His great pleasure in our participation and our fellowship with Him, is lost - if only momentarily. 

What a motivation for me to know what He teaches and to believe in what He teaches.  I don't want to miss out on what He has for me and fellowshipping with Him.
