Let no man say when he is tempted, "I am tempted by God," for God can't be tempted by evil, and he himself tempts no one. But each one is tempted, when he is drawn away by his own lust, and enticed. Then the lust, when it has conceived, bears sin; and the sin, when it is full grown, brings forth dea... -
By faith Noah, being warned about things not yet seen, moved with godly fear, prepared a ship for the saving of his house, through which he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness which is according to faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called, obeyed to go out to the place which ...

Blessed is the man who doesn't walk in the counsel of the wicked, Nor stand in the way of sinners, Nor sit in the seat of scoffers; But his delight is in Yahweh's law; On his law he meditates day and night. He will be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That brings forth its fruit in its se...

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 am amazed by how much the Bible packs into a single verse. Humans cannot create a single star, but they keep finding more of them as they develop devices that let them see further into deep space.
Scientists estimate that there are around 300 sextillion stars now. That is a three followed by 23 zeros, or 3 trillion times 100 billion. My mind cannot even fathom numbers like this. 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 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 heads. He created all this, 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 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 giving me a place in Your universe. Please help me find where 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!

Amen! Thank you once again for these wonderful devotions I love them all! Also I am asking for prayers for my minister at church I used to attend. He and his wife were woken up by their fire alarm going off last night and barely got out of the house in time and they lost everything except a few items they were able to grab on the way out. Their whole house and all its contents burnt to the ground last night. I am at a loss for words and just ask for God's people to be in prayer for this wonderful Minister and his wife Bruce and Connie, Thanks everyone.
