Analysis of Just a Little Lower than the Angels
Cathy Jones 1967 (tn)
When we look at the vast expanse of creation, we wonder how God could be concerned for people who constantly disappoint Him.
Yet God created us . . .
"Only a little lower . . .
. . . than the Angels."
3: When I consider Thy heavens, Thy work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou has ordained.
4: What is man, that Thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that Thou visitest him?
5: For Thou hast made him A Little Lower than the Angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honor.
So, the next time you question your worth as a person or feel down about yourself or your situation, remember that God considers you highly valuable.
"Just a Lower than the Angles."
