Modern technology allows us to aim a computer tablet at the night sky and see the names of stars, planets, ad constellations displayed on the screen as we look at them. Impressive as that is, it is still surpassed by simply lying on the ground and looking up at the vast celestial night display. Unfolding before us are myriads of heavenly objects beyond ability to number or name.
"When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, The moon and the stars, which You have ordained; What is man that You take thought of him, And the son of man that You care for him? Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty! You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet, All sheep and oxen, And also the beasts of the field, The birds of the heavens and the fish of the sea, Whatever passes through the paths of the seas. O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!" (Psalm 8.3-9)
The vastness of the night sky reminds us how minuscule we are in this nearly limitless sea called the universe. And yet, Yahweh God notices far more about us than we will ever know. And, this infinite God cares deeply for His Son, the son of man. He has been created a little lower than our Father, but He is crowned with glory and majesty. Our Father has designed His vast creation to be subject to His Son's rule, placing all things under His feet; even as we are reminded in Psalm 110.1 - "The LORD says to my (David's) Lord: 'Sit at My right hand Until I make Your enemies a footstool for Your feet.' "
It is a good thing to be a student of God's word, the Bible. But, it is also important to be a student of God's creation. When both our coupled together, we are left in awe of His creation and His plan. Like the Psalmist, we cannot help but exclaim: "O LORD, our Lord, How majestic is Your name in all the earth!"
May you be filled with wonderment and awe today as you ponder His word and creation.
