“Lift up your eyes on high, and behold Who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: He calleth them all by names by the greatness of His might, for that He is strong in power; not one faileth” (Isaiah 40:26).
How awesome is our great Creator God! He created the starry host and calls them all by name. How great is His power and strength! Not one of His stars suddenly goes missing. He not only created the stars, He sustains them. A wave of loneliness swept over Stan as he once again missed his family so terribly. Not able to get time off for Christmas vacation, he truly missed the family gatherings and all the traditions that had come to be special to him. Standing on the deck overlooking the landowner’s backyard and looking upward into the night sky, it seemed like the Lord Himself reminded Stan to trust Him. The thought occurred to him, “If the Lord can sustain the stars and doesn’t lose track of any of them, and if the Lord knows all the stars by name, then I know that He will help me and hold me right where I am.” He still had feelings of loneliness, but how sweet was the Lord’s help to him. How will this apply to your life today?
For today: Aren’t you glad that He holds the stars and you as well?
