The Heavens Declare the Glory of God

Last night I went up to the mountains and saw perhaps one of the best and clearest nights of the billions and billions of stars in our galaxy.

And I was reminded of Psalm 8:3-5 3 When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, The moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained; 4 What is man, that Thou dost take thought of him? And the son of man, that Thou dost care for him? 5 Yet Thou hast made him a little lower than God, And dost crown him with glory and majesty!

The thought that the Biblical text says "16 And God made the two great lights, the greater light to govern the day, and the lesser light to govern the night; He made the stars also. 17 And God placed them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth" (Genesis 1:16-17) is amazing that God created every single individual star.

May we never lose sight of the greatness of our God. This God who created the universe, the billions of stars and galaxies is in a personal and immanent relationship with His creature. Does that baffle your mind? It should. But let us marvel in the glory of God's grace today.
