What is mortal man that you keep him in mind?—Ps. 8:4.

 

Jehovah reveals the truth to those who are humble. (Matt. 11:25) We humbly accepted help to learn the truth. (Acts 8:30, 31) Still, we must be careful not to become proud. Being prideful could lead us to consider our personal opinions to be just as valid as Scriptural principles and direction from Jehovah’s organization. To maintain our humility, we need to remember our littleness when compared to Jehovah’s greatness. (Ps. 8:3, 4) We can also pray to develop a humble, teachable spirit. Jehovah will help us put his thoughts, which he provides through his Word and his organization, ahead of our own. In your Bible reading, look for points about how Jehovah loves humility and hates pride, arrogance, and haughtiness. And take extra care to remain humble if you receive a privilege of service that gives you a measure of prominence. w24.07 10 ¶8-9

3 When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers,

The moon and the stars that you have prepared,+

 4 What is mortal man that you keep him in mind,”

 

Oh boy! When we can look at the amazing universe above our heads with its unfathomable distances and great beauty- it does make us feel very small. We humbly respect our grand creator and so when he speaks …..we listen.
