“Give thanks to him who made the heavenly lights— His faithful love endures forever, the sun to rule the day, His faithful love endures forever, and the moon and stars to rule the night. His faithful love endures forever.” Psalm 136:7-9 NLT
The brightest star in the sky is Sirius, the dog star. But Famous and I saw an even brighter man-made star last night as we went outside to view the International Space Station whizzing by overhead. Any aircraft has to expend huge amounts of fuel to stay up in the sky, but the ISS moved steadily across the sky, suspended in orbit above the earth traveling at approximately five miles per second. It came up over the playing field where we walk most days and went directly over our heads where it was at its brightest before disappearing in the tree line on the opposite side of the field.
The events and monuments we create are fleeting compared to the eternal God who reigns above. And even though stars will also one day pass away, their existence in such a timeline remind of the everlasting love God has for us.
Remind me of Your steadfastness when I am distracted by the insignificant moments in life today.
