Summer Getaways—Starry Nights
He made the stars also.
Genesis 1:16
Genesis 1:16
According to National Geographic, the most mind-boggling thing we can do is gaze into the starry night. On a clear night we might see 3,000 stars with the naked eye, but no one knows how many stars exist.
Recommended Reading: Psalm 8
The Bible frequently tells us to stargaze. The Lord told Abraham, “Look now toward heaven, and count the stars if you are able to number them” (Genesis 15:5). He told Job, “See the highest stars, how lofty they are!” (Job 22:12) The psalmist praised God when he considered the moon and the stars, which God ordained (Psalm 8:3).
We may have too much light in our cities, but (here in CWL) sometime during this summer, find a dark place, look up, count the stars, and praise the God who created them and who calls each of them by name (Isaiah 40:26).
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, / Thy power throughout the universe displayed.
