Lift Up Your Eyes
“Lift up 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." Isaiah 40:26
Tonight step outside and look up into the heavens. Look at the vastness of the stars and realize that not only did our Father create all these starry hosts, but that each of them has a name. The number of stars out there in our universe alone is beyond numbering; yet each has a name. God has placed each one in its proper position and not one falls but He has ordained it. Can you take all that in? Can you imagine the power of such a Creator? Can you comprehend what this means in your life? The Creator of the Universe not only took the time to name the stars, but He takes an interest in you as well. More than an interest, He has chosen us to be His own dear children. If God has taken the time to order the stars and to name each one of them, surely His interest in us should overwhelm us. His Word tells us He loved us before we even knew Him. It also tells us that He cares for us and that He sent His dearly beloved Son to die for us. Can you take all that in? The God of the Universe, who is so grand and so powerful and so infinite, cares for you and me. His love reached down to us despite the fact that we are totally insignificant in this Universe. “We are but dust” is how David put it in the psalms. Yet even in our insignificance God is making us significant through His Son. One day we will sit and reign with the Son who died for us. We will be His Bride. How can that be? Because that great power that created this Universe is working in each one of us. It is taking the dust and making us into diamonds. It is not a work we could do, but He can and He is working to make us like His Son, in beauty and majesty that one day the Bride of Christ will shine more brightly than any star in the Universe. It will be God’s greatest feat yet.
Father, when I look into the heavens and see the vastness of your creation I am awed. To think that you would love me so much that you would send your beloved Son to die for me is overwhelming, but beyond that you have betrothed me to Him and called me your child. Oh, that I might live worthy of that calling. Thank you for the reminder of your great power, mighty strength and unending love. Amen
