After I finished my quiet time a few mornings ago, I was looking at the news on my phone, and I came across this incredible photo series by Aaron J. Groen. He takes time-lapse photos of the night sky in South Dakota.
My family and I recently watched "The Star of Bethlehem" together, where this guy combines astronomical facts with Biblical knowledge, treating the Star of Bethlehem as a real historical event. I am usually skeptical of things, but it is AMAZING!
The DVD talks about the intricacies of our one galaxy, how it is so perfectly put into place.
Each star that you see in the sky has its own galaxy, maybe much like ours.
Only about 2,000 stars are visible at any one time, out of about 100 BILLION stars in our galaxy!
When I came across this photo series, I was just in awe. Maybe it was because I had just finished my quiet time, or because I was still tired... but I couldn't stop the tears from coming.
The heavens declare the glory of God.
How incredible that the God who put billions of galaxies, stars and countless planets into place... this same God knows and understands me. And you.
