The other day I was walking outside at night, looking at the stars up above. I love stars - there's just something so neat walking around, looking up at them on a warm summer night, or a crisp fall evening. The last week or so I've felt a little alone at times, and as I was walking, I was wishing there was someone there to enjoy the stars with me. At that moment, God exclaimed (somewhat indignantly, if I may say so) - Hey, what about me? I'm here with you now! And besides, I made the stars, and put them there just for you! Could that other person do that?
Thanks God for that reminder of how great you are, and the amazing, BIG things you do each and every day for us. We take it so for granted most of the time.
From Psalm 147 and 148:
Praise the Lord! For it is good to sing praises to our God; for it is pleasant, and a song of praise is fitting....He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.
Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord from the heavens; praise him in the heights!
Praise him, sun and moon, praise him all you shining stars!
Let them praise the name of the Lord! For he commanded and they were created. And he established them forever and ever; he gave a decree, and it shall not pass away.
