What
an awesome reflection of the Creator it is that comes from a star-packed night
sky that fills viewers with reverence! At Psalm 8:3, 4, David expressed the awe
he felt: “When I see your heavens, the works of your fingers, the moon and the
stars that you have prepared, what is mortal man that you keep him in mind, and
the son of earthling man that you take care of him?” To those who have eyes to
see, ears to hear, and a heart to feel, these starry heavens speak, as they did
to David: “The heavens are declaring the glory of God.”—Psalm 19:1-4.
The
more we know about stars, the louder they speak to us. At Isaiah 40:26, we are
invited to note their tremendous energy: “Raise your eyes high up and see. Who
has created these things? It is the One who is bringing forth the army of them
even by number, all of whom he calls even by name. Due to the abundance of
dynamic energy, he also being vigorous in power, not one of them is missing.”
The force of gravity and the dynamic energy of one of them, our sun, hold the
earth in place in its orbit, make plants grow, keep us warm, and make all life
possible here on the earth. The apostle Paul under inspiration said: “Star
differs from star in glory.” (1 Corinthians 15:41) Science knows of yellow
stars like our sun, also blue stars, red giants, white dwarfs, neutron stars,
and exploding supernovas that unleash incomprehensible power.
