Consider His Heavens!
"When I consider Your heavens"
Psalm 8: 3
NASA’s Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite has made some
remarkable discoveries recently; including the planet that’s as
dense as pure water, the lava world that sizzles at more than a
thousand degrees Fahrenheit, and a comet that belches out
tons of ice, dust, and gas.
God’s power is displayed throughout the world and across the
heavens. When we look upward at the stars or downward at the
intricate blades of grass at our feet, we see the workmanship of
a great Engineer, the artistry of a great Designer, and the glory
of a great Creator.
Isaac Watts wrote, “I sing the mighty power of God that
made the mountains rise, that spread the flowing seas
abroad and built the lofty skies.”
God’s power is available to strengthen His children through Jesus.
It’s available to you. The Bible speaks of “the exceeding greatness
of His power toward us who believe” (Ephesians 1:19). If you feel
weak today, remember God doesn’t. Consider His heavens, and
be strengthened by His Spirit.
"Who can study the science of astronomy and contemplate the star-lit
heavens with a knowledge of the dimensions of the celestial bodies,
their movements, and their enormous distances, without bowing his
head in reverence to the power that brought this universe into being
and safely guides its individual members?"
