NAMED the STARS

"God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars." GENESIS 1:16 ~ March 31, 2011 a spiral galaxy in the constellation Canes Venatici, is in the east in early evening and soars high overhead later on. It's also known as the Sunflower Galaxy for its beautiful shape and color. It's bright, so it's visible through almost any telescope. "Remember your servants Abraham, Isaac and Israel, to whom you swore by your own self: ‘I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and I will give your descendants all this land I promised them, and it will be their inheritance forever." EXODUS 32:13 ~ APRIL 1, 2011 The planet Venus continues to highlight the dawn sky this month. It looks like a brilliant star, quite low in the eastern sky at sunrise. It is so bright that you can easily mistake it for an approaching airplane. "And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars—all the heavenly array—do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshiping things the LORD your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven." DEUTERONOMY 4:19 ~ How awesome is our Lord Almighty that He would think of the JOY His children will have in star gazing. "He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name." PSALM 147:4 "This is what the LORD says, he who appoints the sun to shine by day, who decrees the moon and stars to shine by night, who stirs up the sea so that its waves roar— the LORD Almighty is his name." JEREMIAH 31:35 ~ "The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor." 1 CORINTHIANS 15:41 ~ "In his right hand he held seven stars, and coming out of his mouth was a sharp, double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance." REVELATION 1:16"You alone are the LORD. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you." NEHEMIAH 9:6 ~ "The LORD wraps himself in light as with a garment; he stretches out the heavens like a tent." PSALM 104:2 "Praise the LORD. Praise the LORD from the heavens; praise him in the heights above." PSALM 148:1 ~ "Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing." ISAIAH 40:26 ~ "Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?" MATTHEW 6:26 ~ “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven." MATTHEW 10:32
