Each morning when I walk, I look up to the skies. I love to gaze upon the moon and stars. This morning was the first time in weeks that the sky was clear and I could see the multitude of stars. I cannot count them all and I certainly do not know the names of most. That does not diminish the enjoyment of the beautiful panorama.
Isn’t it strange that with all that man knows and can do that we cannot create a single star and put it into place in the sky. We cannot travel the distance to a star. We certainly can’t recall the names of each star.
On the other hand, God created the billions upon billions of stars. He set each one in its place. And God has named each one. Psalms 147:4 says, “He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.”
Even better is the fact that He knows my name and your name. He knows the name of each of the billions of people on earth now. That’s because He created and fashioned each of us for a specific purpose. He is the ultimate designer. He knows you and I intimately and even knows the number of hairs on our heads. He loves us with an abundant, steadfast and eternal love.
Think about all that the next time you look up at the sky and see the stars.
