May we all continue to grow in His love, to become as He is.  When the day comes to have the boldness to look Him in the eyes and shake His hand and not to be ashamed.  This is our Fathers will and His will be done in earth as it is in heaven.    

God bless,

Thanks for the response, Joe.  When I go out at night and gaze up to the stars and stand in awe of His creation, it makes me think.  With the knowledge of astronomy today, we get a better idea just how big and beautiful the universe is.  Yet, still it is beyond our understanding.  Put that same thought into the spiritual truths of His love for us and it becomes amazing.  


Ps 19:1
{ A Davidic Psalm } The heavens are recounting the glory of El, And the atmosphere is telling the work of His hands.

Ps 19:2
Day after day is uttering a saying, And night after night is disclosing knowledge.

Ps 19:3
There is no audible saying, and there are no words; Their voice is unheard.

Ps 19:4
Yet into the entire earth their voice goes forth, And into the ends of the habitance their declarations. For the sun, He has placed a tent in them,

Ps 19:5
So it is like a bridegroom going forth from his canopy; It is elated like a master, to run its path.

Ps 19:6
From the end of the heavens is its going forth, And its circling around goes on to their ends, So that nothing is being concealed from its warm penetration.

Ps 19:7
The law of Yahweh is flawless, restoring the soul; The testimony of Yahweh is faithful, making wise the simple;

Ps 19:8
The precepts of Yahweh are upright, rejoicing the heart; The instruction of Yahweh is pure, enlightening the eyes;

Ps 19:9
The fear of Yahweh is clean, standing unto the future; The judgments of Yahweh are truth; they are righteous altogether:

Ps 19:10
Coveted more than gold, and more than much glittering gold, And sweeter than honey and drips of the combs.

Job 38:31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

Job 38:32
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

Amos 5:8
[Seek him] that maketh the seven stars and Orion, and turneth the shadow of death into the morning, and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea, and poureth them out upon the face of the earth: The LORD [is] his name:


Anyway that is what I see, when looking at the stars.  His love for us is awe inspiring and limitless.  Hence the name, orion.

God bless,

Yes Gary,

that is why it is so very humbling, the Creator of this incomprehensible universe and all it contains wants a personal one on one relationship with us! He wants us to be His sons & daughters, He knows and cares about our day to day trials and even knows the number of hairs on our heads.

Thinking of these things sometimes actually reduces me to tears, the fact that He is leading us to Him is such a joyful thought that I am totally incapable of putting it into the proper words.
