Who is man that thou art mindful of
This was what amused Job
He tried figuring out, yet was he unable to
The psalmist too was confused with the truth that man was God’s delight
So he came out with same argument

I came up with my own philosophy
Trying to figure out what man mearnt to the supreme God
Yet I failed, I utterly failed
I mean success was far from me

Philosophy is too logical to explain,
Yes too logical to answer the question of the great psalmist
Too logical to give satisfactory clue to what Job want to know
I felt I should try out a more better method, yes a more reliable approach

I delved into science, I thought it could give a clue
Yet I was just on my way to failing, failing without the hope of arising
Ok, let me go a bit into metaphysics, maybe I could pull out the old man's gray hair
Yet I failed again, again and again did I fail

If philosophy didn’t work out,
Neither did science and metaphysics was worth the trying
Then the wisdom of men would do good, I mean the wisdom of men couldn’t fail
Oh no not again, I couldn’t fail for another time, yet I failed

What is wrong, I questioned
Why is everything not working out right, I asked myself
Oh maybe I am putting legs in the wrong shoe
I couldn’t be the one mearnt to figure out this question.

I couldn’t be the one to find out the tie between God and man
I couldn’t be the one to figure out the treasures stored in man
I have tried everything yet nothing worked
Nothing, I mean nothing, oh wait a minute did I even try out God’s word

Did I even asked the state at which Job was speaking from
Or did I even want to know if the psalmist was overwhelmed with revelation
Did I even know what promise Job had received from the lord
Or have you not heard of the scripture that God made man in his image and likeness

Man couldn’t be a mere creature to God
He is the apple of God’s eyes
He didn’t think of the loss neither did he consider the pain yet he gave man his son
Yes man is the one made in the image and the likeness of God

Man couldn’t be worthless,
Man couldn’t be a nobody
Yes he couldn’t have been a nobody to God
Man is worth more than our thinking, yes he is worth more than our thought and intuition

Who is man that though hath mindful
God is mindful of him so he gave him life
God is mindful of him so he visits him
God is mindful of him so he calls him his own.

Remember God loves you and you are not a nobody to him, he is mindful of you and delights in you. God is love and he loves you.

GOD IS MINDFUL OF YOU
