Awestruck Wonder

Greetings!!!

Have you ever checked out the images from the Hubble Space Telescope on the NASA web site? There are some amazing images from unimaginable distances across the universe. This is an image of the Lonely Galaxy. This galaxy was discovered by William Herschel in 1788, and it has astronomers baffled today. "The Lonely Galaxy is producing stars at a rate more than 100 times higher than the Milky Way Galaxy." http://www.nasa.gov/multimedia/imagegallery/iotd.html

Do you ever wonder why there are so many wondrous things out there in the universe? I think it is because God knew that one day one His children would discover the planets, moons, stars, and galaxies. I can imagine His delight when we stand in awe of His creation.

David, who spent much time out in the open fields observing the night sky, said, "The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands. Day to day pours forth speech, And night to night reveals knowledge. There is no speech, nor are there words; Their voice is not heard. Their voice has gone out through all the earth, And their utterances to the end of the world. In them He has placed a tent for the sun, Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber; It rejoices as a strong man to run his course. Its rising is from one end of the heavens, And its circuit to the other end of them; And there is nothing hidden from its heat." Psalm 19:1-6

When was the last time you stood beneath a canopy of star and gazed in awestruck wonder? The Milky Way is really big. What concern seems bigger than life to you today? Put it in the hands of the One who made the Milky Way. He is really, really big. He can take care of you and your concerns. Trust Him.

The LORD bless you with awestruck wonder at His work in your life.

I love you,

Ruth
