The Number of the Stars

“He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names.” (Psalm 147:4)

Men who keep up with space, planets and stars tell us there are thousands of stars in the galaxies. Occasionally one sees what we commonly call a “shooting” star or a “falling” star. We never see the spot that its disappearance left. God knows all the stars by name. He knows when one burns out.

He also knows when the little sparrow falls. Maybe it fell from its nest or it flew into an unseen fence wire. God also has the very hairs of your head numbered. (Matt. 10:29-30)

God knows all the details of our lives. Ethel Waters often sang, “His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.” He watches over you every moment of every day.
