The Star Lord

God made the two great lights: the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night. He also made the stars. Genesis 1:16 WEB.
He also made the stars, what a sentence. I sometimes read this, and I am amazed by how much the Bible packs into a single verse. Scientists estimate that there are around 300 sextillion stars now. That number is increasing as they develop devices that let them see further into space.
That is a 3 followed by 23 zeros, or 3 trillion times 100 billion. My mind cannot even fathom numbers like this, yet mankind cannot create a single star. Written out it in longhand it looks like this: 300,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.
There are multiple planets in orbit around these stars and multiple moons in orbit around those planets. Compared with the universe, the planet Earth that we live on is like a speck of space pollen. And we are only a speck living on that speck, yet fighting and dividing over anything we can think of. From above, it would be much like watching ant colonies milling about, so busy at work, till a boot comes down. We really need to keep our life in the proper perspective and see the big picture.
The Awesome God Almighty that made the stars calls us by name, and He knows how many hairs are on our head. He created all of this, and yet He will be involved in your life today if you let Him. Though He created the universe, He once gave me answers to questions on a math test when I asked Him, simply because He cares.
Today if you feel worthless, put it aside. The Creator Himself has deemed you worthy of calling Him Father. No one else's opinion really matters. Can the ones looking down their nose at you make stars? I am thrilled to know the Star-Lord, and that He knows me.
Prayer: Heavenly Father, I thank You for creating me and for giving me a place in Your universe. Please help me find the place that I belong and put me right where You want me to be. Guide me and help me make the right decisions as I live my life for You, in the name of Jesus Christ, I pray. Amen!
