Our Astonishing Creator

Whether you stand gazing at the deep midnight-blue sky where a multitude of shimmering diamond-studded stars are twinkling overhead or whether you pick up an authoritative journal that outlines the staggering dimensions and design of the Milky Way, the innumerable numbers of other gigantic galaxies or countless number of stars that are visible to the human eye, you can do little more than wonder about Our Astonishing Creator Who, at a moment before time began and in a place before space was created, spoke the world into being.
 While the Lord set the sun and moon in place to govern the day and the night, it was man who was made in the image of God who was ordained to rule over the earth as God's appointed regent. God created man to have dominion over the fish of the sea, the fowl of the air, the cattle, and over all the earth and every creeping thing that creep upon the earth.
 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place,

Our United Prayer:
Loving Father, we stand amazed when we consider the insignificance of humans in the context of the splendors of the extended universe, and yet, You loved us so much that You gave Your only begotten Son to pay the price for our sins. For this we give You eternal praise and glory. In Jesus' name we Pray, AMEN.
