Worship under the blanket of countless, brilliant stars in Mozambique is awesome. There are multiple shooting stars any time you turn your face toward the sky. It’s in these evenings where I get caught up in just how big God is. The lyrics of songs such as “How Great is Our God” really come alive when surrounded by the sights and sounds of God’s creation. David said it better in Psalm 8:
“When I consider your heavens, the work if your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that you care for him?”
God loves us immeasurably. When I gaze into the African night sky, free of pollution and bright city lights, I can’t help but feel loved by my Creator who designed something so magnificent for us.
Thank you, Lord, for your awesome handiwork all around. Help me not to take this beauty for granted…
