Psalm 147

Good Morning “Star Gazers.”  Today we are in Psalm 147.  

What do you think of when you look heavenward?   Have you ever tried to count the starts?  Astronomers estimate there are approximately 200 billion trillion stars in our observable universe.  Somehow I bet that number is off a little. How many zeros is that anyway?  Who knows how many stars actually exist.  God - ONLY God.  He’s THAT BIG! We are that small.  “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Not only does He know how many there are, because He made them of course - but He’s named them all!  As you study Psalm 147 be reminded of His Sovereignty.  He maintains ultimate and total control of EVERYTHING - yet in the midst of it all “the Lord delights in those who fear him, who put their hope in his unfailing love.” Psalms‬ ‭147‬:‭11‬ ‭NIV‬‬

He knows our thoughts before we think them… that’s scary.  

“You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.” Psalms‬ ‭139‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭NIV‬‬

To the true believer, He will have a new name for us, a special name.  Like a parent has a private pet name for their kids.  “…I will give him a white stone, and a new name written on the stone which no one knows but he who receives it.’”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭2‬:‭17‬ ‭NASB1995‬‬

So cool!  Why would He want anything to do with us?  You got me… but He does!  “what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” Psalms‬ ‭8‬:‭4‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Love you all!  Dig in!
