For Some Perspective, Look Up at the Stars

Tonight, go out and look at the stars.

Let a contrite and humble heart confirm:

God is much bigger than all of us.

Our God who created the stars created us;

We don’t worship stars but Him.

Tonight, go out and look at the stars.

Know who we are in Him.
