When I look at the night sky and see the work of your fingers—
the moon and the stars you set in place—
what are mere mortals that you should think about them,
human beings that you should care for them?—Psalm 8:3-4 (NLT)
Creator God,
As I gaze upon the night sky, as I try to take it all in, I fall so short of even being able to begin to comprehend the vastness of all that You have made. And when I am reminded that Your creation is a mere reflection of all Your power and glory, I am overwhelmed to think that You would set Your unfailing love and affection on one like me!
I am amazed at the
intricate details with which You designed, created, set in place and in
perfectly synchronized motion, the moon and each of the stars in the multitude
of galaxies that You spread across the vastness of an endless space.
I am even more amazed that
You created them all and put them on display for us—to demonstrate Your power
and greatness and majesty to all of mankind—in order to reveal who You are and to
draw us into relationship with You.
I am most amazed that You
would make mankind the reason for, and focus of, everything that You have
created—that You not only would think about us, but would want us, and truly care
for us—making us the objects of Your amazing and immeasurable love.
As I gaze upon the night sky, as I try to take it all in, I fall so short of even being able to begin to comprehend the vastness of all that You have made. And when I am reminded that Your creation is a mere reflection of all Your power and glory, I am overwhelmed to think that You would set Your unfailing love and affection on one like me!
In the name of Jesus,
Amen.
