How many of our boys and girls, and older ones too, have dreamed of a camping trip, when you could set up a tent on the side of a lake and sleep under the stars.
How beautiful the track of the moonlight as it shimmers across the lake, while the stars shine and twinkle in the Milky Way!
Genesis 1:1616And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. (Genesis 1:16) tells us that God who made the sun to rule by day, made the moon to rule by night, and “He made the stars also.”
How wonderful to look up at night into those heavens studded with twinkling stars and to know that that same blessed Creator came into this world as a helpless little babe, and as Man went to Calvary’s cross to die for His creature’s sin! Surely such love as this should make us want to please Him in confessing Him as our Lord and Saviour. May we each be able to say, “Whom have I in heaven but Thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire bides Thee.” Psa. 73:2525Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee. (Psalm 73:25).
He has prepared a Home above, far beyond the stars, for all those that love His name, and one day soon He is coming to take all His own to be with Him there.
“Will you be there, and I?”
