Consider
“When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?” (Psalm 8:3-4)
If it cost a single penny to travel a thousand miles, a cruise to the moon would be only $2.38. But if you wanted to go to the sun, the one-way ticket would cost $930.00. A trip to the nearest star would be a whopping $260 million. Yet a place in the very heart of the One who made this vast universe is free, based on the priceless sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ at Calvary.
Today, more than just considering the work of His fingers in creation we need to stop and consider the mighty work of the cross, and the One who accomplished that work. “For consider Him that endured such contradiction of sinners against Himself” (Hebrews 12:3). We are just specks in His great creation. Yet, He came to planet earth and died for us, because He loved us, and could say of Himself, “My delights were with the sons of men” (Proverbs 8:31). What worship the realization of this will produce in our souls!
