How do we know that God is mindful of man?

Answered in 1 source

We know God is mindful of man through scripture that depicts His intentions and love for humanity, as illustrated in Psalm 8 and Hebrews 2.

God's mindfulness of man is demonstrated through His creation and His ongoing relationship with humanity. The psalmist in Psalm 8 profoundly questions, 'What is man that You are mindful of him?' indicating that despite humanity's smallness in the grand schema of creation, God is intimately aware and caring towards us. This is further affirmed in Hebrews 2:5-9, which shows that God not only created man but crowned him with honor and authority over His creation. This caretaking and honoring of man reveal God’s gracious purpose in establishing a relationship with humanity, which is a fundamental aspect of His character as a loving and sovereign Creator.

The ultimate expression of God's mindfulness is found in the person of Jesus Christ, who became lower than the angels, taking on human flesh as an act of love and redemption. This sacrificial act underscores that God sees us, values us, and actively participates in our salvation. Recognizing God’s mindfulness prompts us to respond with awe, worship, and gratitude.
