Why does God make man His focus? Job 6-7

In Job 7:17-18 we read, "What is man that You magnify him, and that You are concerned about him, That You examine him every morning and try him every moment?" This is a popular line of thought with Biblical writers, as David asks something simiilar in Psalm 8 and Psalm 144. The writer of Hebrews quotes these verses in Hebrews 2. Eliphaz will later add depth to these words in Job 22:2. When we stop to consider why the God of the universe has made man the object of His affection we ought to take pause. We KNOW why we should make God the object of our affections. He created all that is and controls all that will be. It makes perfect sense to focus on God. However, we don't deserve His focus on us. We are but a breath (also in the writings of David and Job). We have nothing to offer a God who made it all. Yet, God not only spends time with us and turns His pleasure to us, He sent His son to redeem us. We are fallen and corrupt and deserve death; like all the animals and creation of the world. We are plagued by sin and God can't focus on us because of that sin. But, still He redems us. He has choosen, in His master plan, to make us the object of His love so that ... we might glorify Him. Job spends his time in these two chapters focused on himself and his pain and suffering ... as we all would do if we were in his shoes. Yet, the pain and suffering finally brings Job to ask the question, "Why do you care about me?" We all have to come to a low spot in our lives where we ask that question. Because until we do, we are at the center of our lives, not Him.
