We went to a friend’s birthday a couple of weekends ago and when we were leaving the party late at night, we looked up and saw the amazing sky! They live in an area with very little light polution and what we saw was truly beautiful!
So many stars and so bright! I don’t know if I would ever be tired to look up into such sky! When we got home on Sunday and I was checking some emails and Facebook updates, I saw that my dearest friend in Brazil posted a verse from Psalm that I absolutely love:
“The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.” Psalm 19:1
It made me smile as I remembered those beautiful stars I had seen the night before! How is it possible that there are so many people in the world still refusing to see that all creation is proclaming God’s glory? The skies, the meadows, the mountains, the deepest oceans all exalting the Creator!
I still have that unforgetable image of that Saturday in my mind! Have you ever tried counting the stars? I have tried many times and sure enough, every single time I failed. Got lost in the counting even before I got to 20! Well, our Saviour has put each one of them in place and knows their names! Isn’t that amazing? He sustains the whole universe in His hands! He is sovereign over all things!
May our great GOD gives strength and courage to always proclaim His glory as the skies do!
The beautiful afternoon sky on my way from Atibaia to São Paulo made me post the verse, that is, assuming you refer to my post 🙂 Miss you!
I saw your post on the Sunday and it was just amazing! I had that verse on my mind all the way from Rushden to Angmering! Miss you too! x
