When You Feel Overwhelmed, Look at the Stars...

For me the stars are one of the greatest reminders of the power and love of God. Over the past year there have been points where I have been overwhelmed with life: fears, difficulties, sin, and at least two of those times God has stopped me and shown me the stars. Those have been beautiful moments of standing in awe before a great and loving God.

The same God that hung the stars, knows their number, ordered them across the heavens, and gives them to us as a gift, loved us enough to send His son to die and forgive us while we were still sinners.

Enjoy the stars, as well as the rest of God's creation, and the next time you are overwhelmed go in a field, look at the stars, and stand quietly before God

³ When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,

The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,

⁴ What is man that You are mindful of him,

And the son of man that You visit him?

(Psalm 8:3-4, New King James Version)
