**Daily Devotional**
Some night when you?re away from city lights, ?lift up your eyes on high? (Isa. 40:26). There in the heavens you?ll see a luminous band of stars stretching from horizon to horizon?our galaxy.
If you have good eyes, you can see about 5,000 stars, according to astronomer Simon Driver. There are, however, far more that you cannot see with the naked eye. In 1995, the Hubble Deep Field Study space probe concluded that there are billions of galaxies, each containing billions of stars. By one estimate, there are more than 10 stars in the universe for every grain of sand on the earth.
Yet each night, without fail, God ?brings out their host by number; . . . by the greatness of His might . . . ; not one is missing? (v.26).
Why then do people say, ?My way is hidden from the Lord?? (v.27). Yes, billions of individuals inhabit this globe, but no one has been forgotten by God. He knows ?those who are His? (2 Tim. 2:19). If He can bring out the incalculable hosts of heaven each night one by one, He can bring you into His light. He does so by ?the strength of His power? (v.26)?the power He showed when He raised Jesus from the dead.
Are the stars out tonight? Rejoice! God cares for you. ? David H. Roper
The God who made the firmament,
Who made the deepest sea,
The God who put the stars in place
Is the God who cares for me. ?Berg
We see the power of God?s creation; we feel the power of His love.
