The stars also reveal the glory of God, in the fact that their is no beginning or end to the vast universe. Just as there is no end or beginning to the universe, it helps us in way to understand the greatness of a being, that we know as God, who is without beginning. We humans have to have a beginning and a end. A room has walls and floor and ceiling. The sea we know has a end, the coast ! But there is end to the number of stars, and the universe has no end in sight, and we cry out, is there no end ? It also reveals the love out God, it is greater far, it gose beyond the highest star, it reaches to the lowest hell, it surrounds the sinner in love and woos the soul to yeild and to return to God.
It reveales the Glory of the love of God, in that in the beginning of time, before sin was known, God arranges the affairs of the stars, so that at a certain time, when sin did enter the universe, there was seen amoung the stars, when veiwed from the earth, the the purfect pattern of the cross, Six in number, one for each wound that Jesus recieved for our sin. And wonders of wonders, beside the star that stands for the broken heart, there is seen a lovely cloud in the perfect outline of the north america, this land that has been the apple of His eye. All this was planned by God in the beginning, who knew what would happen in the universe, and to this little world of ours. And this is His way of saying, "I knew and I was ready with a plan, and here it is, my hand writing on the wall, and amoung the stars"
This truth was driven home like a arrow in the heart one night, When I ask God to reveal the glory of Orion to me once more. Instead, He revealed the glory of the cross. Usually, those six stars shine with a dim light. But that night, they shone in the west, just above the horzen, like bright silver blue diamonds stars, a cross hunging, lifted up from the earth, The sight filled my soul, and Ifelt the power of emotion sweep over my soul, I felt a power, a nearness of God there, as if I was standing on Holy Ground.
I had wanted to see the glory of Orion, that I had seen a number of years before, when God had open my eyes and revealed to me the glory of Orion, as a vast cloud of stars, that was thicker and brighter than the milky way. Some of those stars, shone in that same bright silver blue light, that I saw in the cross.
I insteadly understood what God was trying to tell me, as I stood looking at the cross, and the thought entered my mind so clearly, as if He was speaking to me, "take up the cross and fellow me." First the cross, then the crown of life.
The stars of the cross raises first, then afterwards, the stars of Orion, the gate way to heaven, from which we shall hear the voice of God, and see the glory of Orion, as the heavens is rolled back like a scroll...
So you see, God has writen out the plan of salvation for us amoung the stars.
The heavens do declare His glory !
