Do all things without murmurings and disputings: — Philippians 2:14

Stars. God’s people have always been able to find hope in them. God told Abraham, “Your children will be as many as the stars.” The Psalms ask, “When I look at the stars, what is man that you care about him?” Wise men from the East found their way to Jesus by following a star. Luke tells us that Jesus was a morning star that came down from heaven to shine on people who were in the dark. Now we’re famous. The stars in the dark sky of the universe are God’s points of light. So let’s make today a day when our light shows the glory of God to a dark world.

Prayer

Almighty God, I can’t even begin to understand how big your universe is with its billions of stars. But I thank you for calling me to be a light in a dark world, and I promise to shine your light on as many people as I can today. In Jesus’ precious name I pray. Amen.
