The Heavens Declare The Glory Of God

God never ceases to amaze me when it comes to the heavens. The universe is so vast, and apparently ever expanding, that it makes my heart overflow with praise to God. As the bible says in Psalms 19:1-4,

The heavens proclaim the glory of God.
    The skies display his craftsmanship.
Day after day they continue to speak;
    night after night they make him known.
They speak without a sound or word;
    their voice is never heard.
Yet their message has gone throughout the earth,
    and their words to all the world.

What are they saying? They are saying that God is love! So when I came across this report, once again I felt mind blowing awe that God cares about little me in the vastness of the universe. Here's how the report begins that is posted on the Breaking Christian News website.

Star-gazing scientists' best guess is the universe contains somewhere between one and two trillion galaxies. This means the universe is literally overflowing with stars, somewhere around the number of 700 sextillion stars—the number seven followed by 23 zeros. And that's just the estimated number of stars in the observable universe.

The infrared image was taken by the ESA's Herschel Space Observatory's Spectral and Photometric Imaging Receiver (SPIRE).
The image shows the North Galactic Pole, covering 180 square degrees of the sky.
Astronomers say each point of light in the image represents a galaxy. A galaxy is an enormous array of stars, interstellar gas, and dust. For example, our galaxy is known as The Milky Way. Scientists believe it includes more than 100 billion stars.

No matter how insignificant you feel, may you always remember to look to the heavens. May you hear what the heavens say, that you are loved by a big God. May that love bless you and overflow to others In Jesus Name!
