Insignificant?

While I've been going throught his series in class on Sundays "Finding your significance in your insignificance" one of the more troubling thoughts I've come across is three short verses in the Gospel of John.

"²³Now while he was in Jerusalem at the Passover Feast, many people saw the miraculous signs he was doing and believed in his name. ²⁴But Jesus would not entrust himself to them, for he knew all men. ²⁵He did not need man's testimony about man, for he knew what was in a man."

This comes shortly after Jesus had actually began his public ministry and had began to make known his message of hope. What confused me that while he was willing to share truth and that he knew they believed in him did not entreat them to his favor. This struck me profoundly because what his distrust in the hearts of men says is that the things of man are not what he wants and desires. For man to testify about himself and about the things done on earth are simply boasting in mankind and not in God. Jesus wanted the people to testify as to what God was doing (despite that he was God in the flesh) rather than celebrate themselves and put thier trust in a thing or a person, those were not worth celebrating and knew because "he knew what was in a man".

In Psalm 113:4 is says God's glory is above the Heavens (or the sky as we know it) and so when we see the images that are constantly being sent to us via the Hubble telescope like this one:
We know that what ever glory we may be able to declare and testify about cannot not be surmmounted by the creations whose sole purpose it is to glorify God and do it constantly. It would be like a King assembling an orchestra whose only purpose is to write and perform songs that tell of his greatness. You might be asking what does this have to do with John 2:23-25 or any notion of insignificance? Well simply this: That we in the big scheme of things really have no affect on what happens in this known universe where planets and stars, nebulas and galaxies sway to give golry and honor to our God save this: That he loves us, listens to us and responds in infathomable to our little pea brains. We sway the one who sways the stars like dust on a table top. Be encouraged then because your prayers and petitions are more precious than the stars.
