Deuteronomy 4:19 And when you look up to the sky and see the sun, the moon and the stars – all the heavenly array – do not be enticed into bowing down to them and worshipping things the Lord your God has apportioned to all the nations under heaven.

It is an awesome sight to be able to look up into a star-filled sky from a position of darkness where we are not surrounded by the lights of a city; I love living in the countryside.

But do not ever forget that God is the one who has created all of what we can see. Man and his lights and other pollution is what is stopping us from seeing God’s creation.

And it is not just physically but spiritually as well as man tries to cloud the sky with his own ways instead.

Psalm 136:7 To Him who made great lights, For His mercy endures forever—

Have you ever thought what it would be like to have to live in perpetual darkness? Some people have been able to experience long periods of darkness by living and working very close to the poles, but we always know that the Sun and Moon are out there somewhere!

The sun shines brightly and brings warmth, light and life to the earth in a perfect balance that could not be made by chance without burning out or freezing out everything that came before it.

Instead, God started with everything in balance and He continues to keep it there because of His endless mercy!

Psalm 74:14 You broke the heads of Leviathan in pieces, And gave him as food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.

We may stand in awe of our amazing God and all that He has created, but we must always remember that He is the one that has given us dominion over all the earth.

That means that we do have dominion over the largest animals and mammals as well – but just because we have dominion does not mean we can spoil everything into extinction.

God wants us to be good stewards over what He has given us from the smallest insects to the largest animals and mammals because they are all His creation for us!

Psalm 104:26 There the ships sail about; There is that Leviathan which You have made to play there.

No matter how far we think we have gone in technology and in breaking physical boundaries, we do have to remember just what God has created as natural!

It has taken man a long time to get ships that can conquer the oceans and yet God created the largest mammals to roam freely in the deep oceans.

It is only in the last hundred years that man has been able to fly with relative ease, but God created birds to roam the skies freely from the beginning.

We stand in awe!
