Hello Everyone,
How many stars are there? Astronomers don’t know. They say that the cosmos contains more stars than can be numbered. Billions for sure - probably trillions!Figures like that are hard for us to wrap our brain around. Even a million is mind-boggling. If you were counting a million $1 bills at the rate of 60 a minute for 8 hours a day 5 days a week, it would take you nearly 7 weeks to do it. At the same rate it would take over 133 years to count a billion dollars."Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." - Isaiah 40:26 (NIV)So if we ever wonder whether God is able to carry us with all our burdens, remember that He is the sovereign of the stars.
When the skies are clear, look up and be thankful that the God who calls each star by name knows, loves, and cares for you.
God not only knows the stars by name, but He knows you by name. “What is the price of five sparrows? A couple of pennies? Yet God does not forget a single one of them. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows. And I assure you of this: If anyone acknowledges me publicly here on earth, I, the Son of Man, will openly acknowledge that person in the presence of God’s angels.” - Luke 12:6-8 (NLT)What a privilege it is to have a personal relationship with God and for Him to know me by name; and now He invites me to know Him by name!
Oh How HE Loves Us!Pastor Phil
