Beautiful is written by Shawn McDonald... a favorite!!!
Growing up I often looked out my window to the stars, pondering life. It was one thing that I held onto tight in my relationship with Christ. I look back to all that has happened in my life and I can recall so many nights of star gazing... nights of joy and nights of pain. Looking at the stars always seemed to give me the comfort that I was never alone and somewhere out there I was loved. God created the stars, He created me and He holds them both (and more) in His hand. SIMPLY AMAZING. Last night I had a chance to show my son the stars and it was such a blessing to see his eyes light up. I don't stop to look at them as much anymore these days and I wish I did. Living in Hawaii, we see rainbows on a daily basis though and it is definitely another reminder of God's beauty, grace & love.
I encourage you to take a moment and look at the stars OR the next time you see a rainbow... think about the beauty of all that God has done. You are a part of that... one of His beautiful creations!
Psalms 147:4 He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Psalms 8:3 When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;
Isaiah 40:26 Lift up your eyes on high, and behold who hath created these things, that bringeth out their host by number: he calleth them all by names by the greatness of his might, for that he is strong in power; not one faileth.
Genesis 9: 12 And God said, “This is the sign of the covenant I am making between me and you and every living creature with you, a covenant for all generations to come: 13 I have set my rainbow in the clouds, and it will be the sign of the covenant between me and the earth. 14 Whenever I bring clouds over the earth and the rainbow appears in the clouds, 15 I will remember my covenant between me and you and all living creatures of every kind. Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life. 16 Whenever the rainbow appears in the clouds, I will see it and remember the everlasting covenant between God and all living creatures of every kind on the earth.”
