My friend Sarah and I have recently made a tradition of stargazing. Whether it's on a sidewalk in a shopping center, or in the backyard on a freezing October night - it's equally as fun. Sometimes, staring at the stars for so long is scary. This universe is ginormous, it's hard to believe that we're actually living in it. Each star is in its own place. Each little detail is so beautifully planned out. As we were stargazing, I happened to think of a verse.
"He determines the number of the stars
and calls them each by name." -Psalms 147:4 (NLT)
I couldn't help but smile.
There are so many stars - we can't even see them all - but God calls them each by their own name. Have you ever just stepped back and taken a look at life? We all have separate lives. We all take different paths. We all live out our own adventures each day. And yet, the sky stays there, the same as it has always been. Each star with its own name and place. In the same way, we have all been named. Not just in the literal sense, but in the sense that we all have a plan for our life that's just waiting to be lived out!
Needless to say, I'm pretty floored at the moment.
Take some time to stargaze tonight. You won't regret it.
(Unless it's raining. Then you might possibly regret it a bit.)
