April 28 - National Astronomy Day

Astronomy is the study of the sky: the sun, moon, stars, and galaxies.  The more scientist learn about astronomy, the more they realize how big it is and how much we don't know.  The stars that we see on a dark night are just a very few of the billions and gazillions of stars that God has put in place.  Do you remember what day He spoke and they appeared?  Did you say day 4 of creation?  If so, you are right.  He just spoke -- just said the words -- and all of this just appeared out of nothing.  That's pretty amazing!  Is it going be a clear sky night?  Step out tonight and just look at all that God has created.

It says in Psalm 8:3-4, "When I look up into the night skies and see the work of  your fingers - the moon and the stars you have made -- I cannot understand how you can bother with mere puny man, to pay any attention to him!" (TLB)

The truth is, he not only is paying attention to us, but he put us IN CHARGE of His whole world!  That's a big job, and that's a BIG GOD!
