The Stars Have Names
Psalms 147:4-5 “He counts the stars and calls them all by name.”
See! God IS in the details! Thank you God for showing this to me today! I’ve heard this verse before but I didn’t realize it was exactly as is – there is no guessing as to what this verse means.
I can look at the sky and never see a star with all the city lights but if I’m out of the city – waaaayyy out – I can see a spectacular “galaxy” of them!
The last time I sat in awe of the stars I was outside of Roswell, New Mexico. I was looking for military aircraft flying above and sure enough, I saw them zipping across the sky. They were fascinating to see but the countless stars that I saw amazed me the most. It’s true you cannot count them all; but God knows the exact number and knows all of their names! Who does that?! Only One. THE One.
This same God knows everything about YOU and still loves you! Give Him more of your heart today.
What a POWERFUL Name
One of my most favorite songs is “What A Beautiful Name” by Hillsong Worship.
What touches me the most is the part about how powerful the name of Jesus is . . .
so much so, that even the grave could not contain him.
This is my visual:
Jesus rolling away the stone (BAM!) that covered the opening to his tomb and all of heaven just praising at the sight!
Free
Do you feel bound?
Have you exposed ALL so freedom can come?
Isn’t that interesting how freedom can and does come when you expose the most ugly parts of your sin?
It’s only at that point that God can use you.
He WILL use every part of your story. Every tear, every hurt, E V E R Y T H I N G.
Why? To glorify Him.
He will use your pain for His glory.
Next time you hesitate to share your testimony, remember that it’s no longer about you but about God’s love, mercy and grace.
Your vulnerability and truth will in turn set others free.
“. . . and they overcame and conquered because of the . . . word of their testimony.” Revelation 12:11
Your testimony has power. Be free to share your story of Amazing Love.
