    “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star…” 

    Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining. By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea: Who made the Bear [the Big Dipper] and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south: Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.” (Job 9:7-10, BBE)

    Tonight, if you have the pleasure of seeing the stars, find the “Big Dipper” and realize that you are viewing the same seven lights that Job set his eyes upon thousands of years ago. Realize that soon you will set your eyes upon the same God of the stars that Job saw when he closed his in death. Doesn’t that make you smile???

    God thoughts – that is what I have especially in early morning. I have a daily routine that involves visiting the hot tub at 5:15 AM. It is still dark and out in the country where I am far removed from city lights, the stars light up the sky and sing praise to God. Daily I am reminded of the vastness of space and the greatness of God. I am astounded to think of the interest God has in mankind, in me. It provides an excellent backdrop for prayer and meditation.

    [T]he tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal. The tragedy lies in having no goal to reach. It isn't a calamity to die with dreams unfulfilled, but it is a calamity not to dream...It is not a disgrace not to reach the stars, but it is a disgrace to have no stars to reach for. Not failure, but low aim is sin.

    Benjamin Elijah Mays, American educator and president of Morehouse College (1895-1984)
