I saw my first shooting star last summer. It was amazing! I've always been interested in anything having to do with space.
Psalm 8:
1 O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens.
2 From the lips of children and infants you have ordained praise because of your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger.
3 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,
4 what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?
Psalm 19:1 - The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Looking into the inky blackness of the night sky and seeing white dots of light was enough to cause David to declare his praise to the Creator ... but the majestic beauty of deep space is beyond anything he could've imagined. If David could see images that the Hubble Telescope is sending back to earth -- or even an image of earth from space -- it would take his breath away. The glory of deep space is beyond anything he could've imagined being out there.
Should the world as we know it last another thousand years, with unimaginable advances in science and space exploration, what kind of wonders will be discovered that would take our breath away?
How great is God? Greater than David -- or you and I -- can ever comprehend. Praise be to His Name! Amen!
