Worship, His universe revealed

"Meditating on Your power, I lift my eyes to count the stars.

I give up the thought before I even count five

The vastness of the universe is but a speck of dust to You

Yet I am engraved on the palm of your hand"

Taken from the song "You are lifted high"

This was one of the first songs I wrote when at university and though it has never been recorded, it represents a lot of what I feel.
I was introduced to a love of astronomy by my Geodesy lecturer at university. And I remember sitting in the lecture room wondering why every Astronomer was not a believer in God. There was so much evidence of a great God but this knowledge is hidden from their eyes.
I have always been mesmerized by what lies in the skies but from that moment I knew I wanted to know more of the power of God expressed through His creation.
The scale of things just beats my mind. It is like God has made the heavens His workshop.
Psalms 19:
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

2 Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they display knowledge.

3 There is no speech or language
where their voice is not heard.

4 Their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.

I am amazed at the way God reveals himself according to the technology people have attained at the time. To Job or David, He even didn't bother to tell him that it is the earth going round the sun. Yet we are amazed at David's description of the universe. How accurate and yet very relevant. How technologically and poetically correct he was.
In later posts I would love to indulge you into my insights into the complexity of this universe and how it declares the glory of our God.
When scientists peak into a telescope they are all astounded at the harmony of the heavens. It is like an orchestra being played out for whoever has ears. What is even more intriguing is the fact that you are listening to an orchestra that was played millions of years ago yet you are listening to it now. Not recorded, but LIVE!!
A God who operates at such a scale is really awesome! There are no adjectives to describe our God. Because each adjective falls short. Beautiful cannot define Him. He defines beautiful
Our God is an awesome God!
