Stooping Down to See the Heavens and Earth

Reading in Ps 113.6 this morning. The KJV translates the passage: "Who humbleth himself to behold the things that are in heaven, and in the earth." I like to think of it as God "stooping down" to see what he has created, implying as we certainly believe, that God is far greater than we can even comprehend.

Spurgeon points out that, if God stoops down to see the heaven and earth, what does it further say about him, that he watches even the humblest of his servants: What, then, must be his condescension, seeing that he observes the humblest of his servants upon earth, and makes them sing for joy like Mary when she said, “Thou hast regarded the low estate of thine handmaiden.”
