stand in awe

Sometimes people say that they cannot believe that if there is a God, he would take interest in such a tiny speck of reality called humanity on Planet Earth. The universe, they say, is so vast, it makes man utterly insignificant. Why would God be bothered to create such a microscopic speck called the earth and humanity and then get involved with us?  

Beneath this question is a fundamental failure to see what the universe is about. It is about the greatness of God, not the significance of man. God made man small and the universe big to say something about himself. And he says it for us to learn and enjoy - namely, that he is infinitely great and powerful and wise and beautiful. The more the Hubble Telescope sends back to us about the unfathomable depths of space, the more we should stand in awe of God. The disproportion between us and the universe is a parable about the disproportion between use and God. And it is an understatement. But the point is not to nullify us but to glorify him. p34 Don't Waste Your Life
