Naming the Stars


He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
5Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite. Psalm 147:4-5

So often in life we know what happened…we just don’t know why or how.  When a student studies their hardest and fails the test anyway.  They know the facts…they just can’t figure out why it happened.  In many such cases we are never allowed to know more than the bare facts of the situation.  Yet for God there is no information let out.  From the greatest of things, unimaginably far away, God is intimately acquainted – knowing each star by the name which He gave it.  When it comes to the subtlest minutiae of our social situations or the inner workings of our hearts…God knows all the factors and has a perfect understanding.  So when things seem beyond your understanding you can rest in the fact that while our understanding is always limited…the Lord of our lives understands completely what is going on…and how it is affecting us.
