Stars are the Work of God’s fingers!

“He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names.” (Psalm 147:4 ESV)

Too many to count

When you look up at the stars, it’s difficult to imagine how many there are (too many to count), how big they are (our sun is tiny compared to many others), and how far away they are (no one knows for sure, just guesses on most), yet God made them and has given them all names! God is bigger and greater than anyone can imagine, yet He knows the number of hairs on your head! And, He cares about you!

“He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the Lord is his name.” (Amos 5:8 ESV)

The heaven are massive, yet God is mindful of you!

“When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?” (Psalms 8:3-4 ESV)

They shall shine like stars

“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.” (Dan. 12:3 ESV)

Therefore…

“Lift up your eyes on high and see: who created these? He who brings out their host by number, calling them all by name, by the greatness of his might, and because he is strong in power not one is missing.” (Isa. 49:26 ESV)
