The last two nights I have laid on my bed and gazed up at all of the stars projected onto my ceiling from the do-it-yourself planetarium I purchased in Ohio. I love it! I've always had an interest in the celestial beings, loved gazing at them and wanted to know their names and which ones fit together into constellations. After 2 nights, I've memorized the 15 or so constellations on the Northern Hemisphere dome and I can't wait for a good night to find some sky and lay down on my back to look for my friends for real in the night sky.
It's not enough for me to just appreciate their beauty, although that's good and important as well, there's so much more to discover, so many stories they tell.
It's the glory of God to conceal a matter, but the glory of kings is to search it out.
1 The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament shows His handiwork. 2 Day unto day utters speech, And night unto night reveals knowledge. 3 There is no speech nor language Where their voice is not heard. 4 Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is like a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoices like a strong man to run its race. 6 Its rising is from one end of heaven, And its circuit to the other end; And there is nothing hidden from its heat. 7 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul; The testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; 8 The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; 9 The fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; The judgments of the LORD are true and righteous altogether. 10 More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. 11 Moreover by them Your servant is warned, And in keeping them there is great reward.
Psalm 19:1-11
