At sunset, when the glory of the day is transformed into the magnificence of the night, the stars come out. The light of the sun is replaced by thousands upon thousands of different sized distant lights. The gentle glow they provide is a soothing reminder that we are not alone.
Somehow, some great power has put them into a grand pattern and we recognize them with names like "The Big dipper". The power is not just a force, it is the creator himself; Yahweh!!!
The Psalmist has said...
Psalm 8 (World English Bible)
You have set your glory above the heavens!
2 From the lips of babes and infants you have established strength,
because of your adversaries, that you might silence the enemy and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars, which you have ordained;
4 what is man, that you think of him?
What is the son of man, that you care for him?
5 For you have made him a little lower than the angels,
and crowned him with glory and honor.
6 You make him ruler over the works of your hands.
You have put all things under his feet:
7 All sheep and cattle,
yes, and the animals of the field,
and whatever passes through the paths of the seas.
9 Yahweh, our Lord,
how majestic is your name in all the earth!
Look about you, the world is full of God's great design. This design itself has a pattern and a purpose. None other than the revelation of the one who has made it- God.
Human beings are marvelous creatures, with a mind that has creativity beyond any earth-bound entity, but we pale in comparison to the almighty who has created EVERYTHING!!!
Some of us, with hearts full of pride, place ourselves above even God and deny HIM. No matter how hard they may try, God is still GOD and we are just finite human beings.
Today, my prayer is that we all will acknowledge him and praise THE CREATOR OF THE UNIVERSE!! Look within as you view the stars this evening and you will come to realize the true nature of things; AND PRAISE GOD!!!
