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!

Not only the stars but also the earth and His creation of us. How awesome is our God!
Just think about how old this earth is. Scientists tell us that our planet is about 4.4 billion years old. Think about that. it is more than 4 billion years old, that’s mind-boggling, and God knew us before that. He knew us and predestined us, you and me.
5 Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will, Eph 1:5
(He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” God knew us before we were even born. Not only in our mother’s womb, He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world.” God's will was purposed from the very beginning, even before we were brought into existence, even before the world came to be.
Amen Lord. Here I am. Ease my pain in Jesus Name.
