 All creation is a wonder, a display of God’s magnificent and absolute creative power. Though we cannot fully comprehend the vastness of God, we can take pleasure and find peace in him. And just like he knows the name of each star, he knows our names and cares about the details of our lives.

 WORD 
He counts the stars and calls them all by name. Psalm 147:4 

THOUGHT 
One morning, I stepped outside the door of our home and into the dark stillness of predawn. My eyes were quickly drawn upward to a stunning array of stars; the sky was unusually clear, and the view was astonishing. Surely psalmist David recalled early morning experiences like this one while watching sheep. He could close his eyes, imagining the stillness and the first hint of morning’s light in the pastures and hillsides where he once tended his flocks. He knew what it was like to look into the sky and be dazzled by God’s starry heavens. God had spoken them into existence, knew their number, and gave each a name. He could remember the sounds of birds in morning’s first light, signaling the birth of a new day. David knew God’s mornings, God’s wonders—and in turn, he lifted praise to God. All creation is a wonder, a display of God’s magnificent and absolute creative power. Though we cannot fully comprehend the vastness of God, we can take pleasure and find peace in him. And just like he knows the name of each star, he knows our names and cares about the details of our lives. 

PRAYER 
I am humbled in your presence this morning my Lord, King, and Savior. Who is like you? No one! You are magnificent and all you have made is a wonder. You are exalted and worthy of all praise. Thank you for your love, your mercy, your grace, and opportunity to worship and enjoy you forever. Amen. 

Our Father in heaven, may your name be kept holy.
