His name is Dnyan, and he considers himself a student of the world. And “this is a very big school,” he says of all the cities and towns he’s passed through. He began a four-year journey on his bicycle in 2016 to meet and learn from people. When there’s a language barrier, he finds that sometimes people can understand just by looking at each other. He also depends on a translation app on his phone to communicate. He doesn’t measure his journey in the miles he’s traveled or the sights he’s seen. Instead, he measures it in the people who’ve left an imprint on his heart: “Maybe I do not know your language, but I would like to find out who you are.”
It’s a very big world, yet God knows everything about it and the people in it—fully and completely. The psalmist David was in awe of God when he considered all the works of His hands: the making of the heavens, the moon, and the stars (Psalm 8:3). He wondered, “What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” (v. 4).
God knows you more thoroughly than anyone else possibly can and He cares for you. We can only respond, “Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth!” (vv. 1, 9).

Welcome to another daily encouragement from the Our Daily Bread devotional. Today's reading, titled Who You Are, was written by Anne Sedis. His name is Dinyan, and he considers himself a student of the world. And this is a very big school, he says, of all the cities and towns he's passed through. When there's a language barrier, he finds that sometimes people can understand just by looking at each other.
He also depends on a translation app on his phone to communicate. He doesn't measure his journey in the miles he's traveled or the sights he's seen. Instead, he measures it in the people who've left an imprint on his heart.
Maybe I do not know your language, but I would like to find out who you are. It's a very big world, yet God knows everything about it and the people in it, fully and completely. The psalmist David was in awe of God when he considered all the works of his hands, the making of the heavens, the moon, and the stars. He wondered in Psalm 8, What is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?
God knows you more thoroughly than anyone else possibly can, and he cares for you. We can only respond, Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth. Today's Our Daily Bread devotional scripture reading is Psalm 8. You have made them a little lower than the angels, and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands. You put everything under their feet, all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas. Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth.
Let's pray. Father in heaven, we thank you for knowing each of us intimately. You love and care for each of us.
You are indeed majestic, and you deserve all of our honor and glory and praise. May we do so in the good times and in the bad times. We remember your faithfulness always. Thank you, God. It's in Jesus' name we pray. Amen. Today's encouragement was provided by Our Daily Bread Ministries.
