Night Stars

Have you gazed at the stars lately? Have you observed the vastness of space? Have you ever wondered what angels might be like? Have you thought about how the vastness of space and all the stars were created? What if you could have a personal relationship with their Creator?

We may think it is poetic to look up at the stars at night. We may not think anything of the stars. We may be in complete amazement to hear there are people working on a capability to travel to Mars. We may not think about space travel at all.

In my previous profession, I worked on the information technology systems for a company who is contracted to build a prototype jet engine to take people to Mars. That may sound incredulous to most of us. Some of us may wonder why we would ever want to go there. It all boils down to humans being a curious breed. We are constantly seeking.

What are we seeking? It is really a question of Who are we seeking. Whether we realize it or not, we are seeking our Creator. We seek to know and understand him. We seek to understand our environment. For some of us, we merely focus on our immediate environment. For others, we are seeking to understand something more.

Standing amazed at the creation God has made is a proper attitude to take. Knowing that God spoke all things into being, including the space and stars of our universe, is one part of knowing God better. We don’t have to understand it completely. We are simply to give God the glory he deserves for his wonderful and amazing creation.

I pray we all take notice of God’s creation. I pray we believe God created everything in the universe. I pray each one of us stand amazed when we look at the stars shining in the night sky. Seek to know God. Believe God created everything. Be amazed at his creation. View the stars. See the vastness of space. Give God the glory for his creation.

Psalm 33:6

By the word of the Lord the heavens were made, 

and all their host by the breath of his mouth.
