Seeing Stars
mankind has been looking to the sky for answers
ever since the beginning
we keep looking even today
mankind has been looking to stars for directions
we keep seeking even today
Genesis 1:16God made two great lights
the greater light to govern the dayand the lesser light to govern the night
He also made the stars
If a man or woman living among you in one of the towns the LORD gives you is found doing evil in the eyes of the LORD your God in violation of his covenant, and contrary to my command has worshiped other gods, bowing down to them or to the sun or the moon or the stars of the sky, and this has been brought to your attention, then you must investigate it thoroughly. If it is true and it has been proved that this detestable thing has been done in Israel, take the man or woman who has done this evil deed to your city gate and stone that person to death.
Deuteronomy 17:2-5
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 themand worshiping things the LORD your God
has apportioned to all the nations under heavenDeuteronomy 4:19
They exchanged the truth of God for a lie,and worshiped and served created things
rather than the Creatorwho is forever praised
Romans 1:25
92 percent of Americansbelieve there’s a God

Genesis 15:5He took him outside and said,
“Look up at the heavens and count the starsif indeed you can count them.”
then he said to him,“So shall your offspring be”
Genesis 22:17I will surely bless you and make your
descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as the sand on the seashore. Your descendants will take possession of
the cities of their enemies,
Genesis 26:4I will make your descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and will give them all these lands, and through your offspring all
nations on earth will be blessed
why does this matter?
Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed — not only in my presence, but now
much more in my absence — continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for
it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose
Philippians 2:12-13
Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like
stars in the universePhilippians 2:14-15
we become like the stars
“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the
bright Morning Star.”Revelation 22:16
We have the word of the prophets made more certain, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the
morning star rises in your hearts.2 Peter 1:19
perhaps it’s less about the quantity...
...and more about our quality
we offer answers
we can offer direction
lights in the darkened void
through how we live our lives
like the Bright and Morning Star
