The Night Watch

And God said, “Let there be lights in the vault of the sky to separate the day from the night, and let them serve as signs to mark sacred times, and days and years, and let them be lights in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth.” And it was so. God made two great lights—the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars. God set them in the vault of the sky to give light on the earth, to govern the day and the night, and to separate light from darkness. And God saw that it was good. And there was evening, and there was morning—the fourth day.

I love sitting on top of my hill gazing at the night sky. Knowing that God placed the stars, planets and moon in their place for a reason just amazes me. Nothing in the night sky is insignificant The stars announced the birth of our Savior, leading the Magi to Bethlehem. The Shepherds were watching their flocks beneath a full moon the night that Jesus was born. A full moon hung in the sky the night before Jesus hung on the cross. The sound of the Shofar is heard in Jerusalem each new moon. The night sky reminds me that God is in control.
