"Then God said, 'Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night, and let them be for signs and for seasons and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth'; and it was so." -Genesis 1:14-15 (NASB)
Sometimes we don't stop and look up at all that is out there beyond earth. We get caught up in what we have to do or the technology that we can hold in our hand. We can loose our connection to everything that is around us, but sometimes we have experiences that remind us of the greatness that lies outside of our world.
Recently, I was able to view Venus, Jupiter, and Saturn through a telescope at an astronomy event. Through the telescope the clouds of Jupiter and rings of Saturn are visible! When looking beyond earth, we can a small slice of God's glory and majesty. God created the entire universe. God set the planets in motion. He gave us the sun for light. We may feel small and insignificant when we stop and look up, but we should feel privileged that God also chose to create us and to redeem us through the sacrifice of His Son. We may be small in the universe, but we can be powerful when we live in Him!
Take time to look up and appreciate God's power and His love for you!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for the opportunities to observe Your creation. Thank You for loving me, caring for me, and making me more than a speck in the universe. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
