“How beautiful the stars twinkle in the night,” I whispered, looking up at the moon as if to look in the face of God. Dancing shadows loomed on the deck from subtle breezes sweeping through the limbs of nearby trees. Crickets chirped with a steady rhythm, with rustling leaves. All this splendor! No individual could replicate it with their own hands. No thought in the human mind could generate His wonders or the work of His Hands.

We speak with the very breath of the One true God who spoke everything into existence. In the womb of the morning, He created our image. Psalm 110:3

Who am I? Who am I that the Lord would consider? Though I fade into weakness, His mercy still reaches for me. Time after time, I question, “Who am I that such a great God would descend from His glory to wipe away her heavy droplets of tears? You know my name. You, who created the angelic hosts that sing before Your throne. I often wonder what you see in me.

Often, the cares of life distract us from considering the wonders of God. At the end of the day, we are depleted. Our awareness of how much God cares shuts down.

“O lord, thou hast searched me, and known me. Thou knowest my downsitting and mine uprising, thou understandest my thought afar off. Thou compassest my path and my lying down, and art acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word in my tongue, but, lo, O Lord, thou knowest it altogether. Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.”  Psalm 139:1-6

Feel free to forward it to anyone you wish.  My mission is to encourage everyone to follow our Lord Jesus Christ with all their heart, soul, mind, and strength. ©Darlene J.
