One of my favorite Bible verses was brought to my attention by none of than one Kate Gosselin. This factoid she mentioned in one of her one-on-one interviews she would do after the show (when it was actually good and not so train wrecky). She was referencing the verse towards her children and even had a shirt on with Isaiah 40:26 printed on it. So like any other crazed baby mongrel I looked it up!
"Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing."
Well during my "ordeal" I thought well good for you Katie! But then I started thinking about what Isaiah was saying. First off he's drawing our attention to the awesomeness of God's handicraft! I mean sometime (probably when it's warmer, because I believe Al spoke a little too soon when he declared "global warming" P.S. it's going to be 9 degrees in Alabama tonight!)...anyways...look at the sky on a super starry night. It's amazing! Living in the sticks like we do the big sky line is actually a bonus for us! It's breath taking on clear nights and always a reminder of just how BIG our God is!
Isaiah is obviously impressed with his sky view as well to have written this verse. But he asks "who created all these?" Then he says God calls them each out one by one by name. All the stars. One by one. By name.
Oh, I love this so much!! I hope when I get to heaven I get to help God throw out some of those stars! How cool would it be to stand in God's "Star Station" (that's where I'll work) and He'll say "Okay, Steph I need Epislon 5" and I'll find Epislon 5 and be like "here you go," and I'll get to watch as He throws it into outer space! Ummm... I love that idea!
So just think next time you see a shooting star, it's God zooming that star to where it belongs, and you got to watch God put it there!
