Good Morning,
On my drive home from work today I decided to jam with Skillet. I had not listened to them in a while, so I cranked it. One of my favorite songs is “Whispers in the Dark” off of their Comatose CD. One of the lines in the song is:
“When Darkness comes, I will light the night with stars”
That made me think of the Universe. The Billions of stars, which live in the Billions of Galaxies.
Think about that for a moment.
Have you ever seen a Billion of ANYTHING? Maybe if you walk on a beach and see all the grains of sand, you may be looking at a few billion grains of sand on an entire beach.
Imagine all the drops of water in our oceans. There are billions and trillions there.
But in our universe, there are a billion billion stars.
And God made them for us.
Think about that. He made them for us. The constellations are for us. The stars are for us.
And the God who crafted the entire universe did something even greater for us.
He has a Son. Equally powerful and able to do what He does. This Son could create stars and galaxies too.
The Lord let this Son come to earth and live with us and die on a cross for us.
It is amazing how much God loves us.
We are truly blessed to have Him.
Sanford Berenberg
