Stars

He determines the number of the stars
   and calls them each by name.
– Psalm 147:4

What an incredible God He is,
     the Creator of all things –
                    seen and unseen –
          who created every star
               in the sky.

He’s such a big God
          so magnificent
     I cannot fathom Him
          or His ways.

Yet He reveals Himself
     in His creation.

He wants us
     to know Him,
               so He shows us
                         who He is
                    through what He has made.

The heavens declare the glory of God;
   the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
   night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
   no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
   their words to the ends of the world.
– Psalm 19:1-4

He made the sky
                   sun
                   earth
                   moon
                   sea
                   stars
             and every living creature,
                          including us.

In his hand are the depths of the earth,
   and the mountain peaks belong to him.
The sea is his, for he made it,
   and his hands formed the dry land.
– Psalm 95:4-5

No created thing
     is worthy of praise.

But God is worthy.

He made us
     cares for us
     sent His Son to die
               to save us.

When I consider your heavens,
   the work of your fingers,
the moon and the stars,
   which you have set in place,
what is mankind that you are mindful of them,
   human beings that you care for them?
– Psalm 8:3-4

How could we look up
     at the vastness
          of the sky
     see the wonders
          of the galaxy
              the design of the stars
                        and not see Him?

How could we not
     be in awe
               of who He is
          and grateful
               for what He has done?

How could we not
               worship Him
               praise Him
        and give Him
                    all the glory?

Come, let us bow down in worship,
   let us kneel before the Lord our Maker;
for he is our God
   and we are the people of his pasture,
   the flock under his care.
– Psalm 95:6-7
