He Gives To All Of Them

 Their Names

 

Praise the LORD! How good it is to sing praises to our God; for he is gracious, and a song of praise is fitting. The LORD builds up Jerusalem; he gathers the outcasts of Israel. He heals the brokenhearted, and binds up their wounds. He determines the number of the stars; he gives to all of them their names. Great is our Lord, and abundant in power; his understanding is beyond measure. The LORD lifts up the downtrodden; he casts the wicked to the ground.

 

Sing to the LORD with thanksgiving; make melody to our God on the lyre. He covers the heavens with clouds, prepares rain for the earth, makes grass grow on the hills. He gives to the animals their food, and to the young ravens when they cry. His delight is not in the strength of the horse, nor his pleasure in the speed of a runner; but the LORD takes pleasure in those who fear him, in those who hope in his steadfast love.

 

Psalm 147:1-11

 

It has been estimated that the number of stars in the known universe to be 70 sextillion, 7 followed by 22 zeros. That unfathomable number is said to be more than the grains of sand in every beach and every desert on earth. The amazing fact is that God has a name for each of them, just as He does for us.

 

Praise God! He knows and cares for each of us.

 

All creation points to the almighty Creator.
