O Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger. When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 8:1-4 (ESV)
In context, humans are large in purpose even though we are small in stature. In a massive universe, we are barely noticeable other than to the creator and sustainer of the universe, who seems to have created it for our benefit.
The universe is one way we get to see the glory of God and be trained on how to display the glory of God in our own lives. Night after night the universe speaks of God's creative and sustaining power. Day after day we can see His care, ability, and love as He provides for us.
The universe has no will of its own, but I do. How do the choices in my life show God's love, faithfulness, and care?
