Heavenly

I was just thinking this morning as I prayed how awesome God is. A jeweler may be able to make a beautiful ring that sparkles with diamonds, and other people will admire the ring and ooh and ahh and envy it. 

But God created the heavens, he set each star in place as if a diamond in a magnificently glorious setting. Nothing we humans could craft with our tiny little hands could ever even come close to the sparkling majesty of the night sky when you're away from the city.

Then after I was praying I came across this verse, its the verse for the day in the devotional I'm reading:

Do everything without complaining or arguing, so that you may become blameless and pure, children of God without fault in a crooked and depraved generation, in which you shine like the stars in the universe as you hold out the word of life.  Phillipians 2:14-16

When we walk in his way and live by his word and hold out his promises to others - literally and in the way that we live - we shine as beautifully as the stars.
