He Calls The Stars By Name



Read: Psalm 147:1-9

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.
€”Psalm 147:4

Bible in a Year:
Psalms 35-36; Acts 25

On a plateau high above the Atacama Desert in Chile, the world'€™s largest radio telescope is giving astronomers a view of the universe never seen before. In an Associated Press article, Luis Andres Henao spoke of scientists from many countries €œlooking for clues about the dawn of the cosmo €”from the coldest gases and dust where galaxies are formed and stars are born to the energy produced by the Big Bang.€

The Bible celebrates the mighty power and infinite understanding of God who €œcounts the number of the stars€ and calls them all by name” (Ps. 147:4). Yet the Creator of the universe is not a remote, uncaring force, but a loving heavenly Father who €œheals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds€ (v.3). €œThe Lord lifts up the humble€ (v.6) and €œtakes pleasure in those who fear Him, in those who hope in His mercy€ (v.11).

He loves us so much that €œHe gave His only begotten , that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life€ (John 3:16).

British author J. B. Phillips called Earth €œthe visited planet,€ where the Prince of Glory is still working out His plan.

Our hope for today and forever lies in the loving mercy of God who calls each star by name.
The God who made the firmament,
Who made the deepest sea,
The God who put the stars in place
Is the God who cares for me.

God, who knows the name of every star, knows all our names as well.
