“When I consider Thy heavens, the work of Thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which Thou hast ordained” (Psalm 8:3).
We all like to see the stars on a dark night away from city lights. Imagine how beautiful the night sky would have appeared in King David’s time before there was electricity lighting up the earth and detracting from the brightness of the stars and planets! But even more amazing is the precision and orderliness of what is going on up there in the heavens. Planets traveling in precise orbits; earth, moon and sun all in exact distances from each other to give proper heat and light. Comets (like Halley’s which comes every 76 years) are as regular as clockwork.
Yes, God is a God of order. He has the stars numbered and named. He has arranged and directs the migratory flights of the birds, all of which are awesome. He sees it if a sparrow falls, and enjoys the wildflowers that bloom in remote places, that man may never see.
And He has His eye on you, and a plan for you. And He has some advice for you as well. We’ll see that tomorrow.
