Amos 5:8

Seek him that maketh the seven stars and Orion,

and turneth the shadow of death into the morning,

and maketh the day dark with night: that calleth for the waters of the sea,

and poureth them out upon the face of the earth:

The LORD is his name:

The song by Perry Como, “Catch a Falling Star” had interesting lyrics.

“Catch a falling star and put in your pocket save it for a rainy day…”

It was a song that suggested when hard times come, pull out that star and brighten your day.  At least that was my interpretation of it.

Well, we have something way better than Perry’s song… we have GOD!

So, each day, no matter what happens, good bad or indifferent, we have the LORD whom we can give thanks,  and know He’s always there no matter what.

There are blessings all around, we just need to be mindful of them.  Even when there is black clouds looming large in the sky, although we can’t see the sun at that moment in time, we realize and know that the sun is there.

Well, the same with God–who of course incidentally created the sun–we sometimes can’t feel Him, or see Him…but we know instinctively that He is there.

God is our Star,  the Rock, the faithful and magnificent great I Am I am!

He is behind us when we need to be uplifted, holding us up.

He is in front of us, leading us and guiding us through the storm.

He is all encompassing in every aspect of our lives.

And, through all of which we live…it is He we should LIVE for.  Because it is He who is LIFE and the Creator thereof of all things big and small.

His word is inspirational.

His heart is enormous filled with love of which we can’t fathom.

His compassion boundless.

He is our Rock, our Strength, our Everything.

He alone is the Star, the only Star in which we should set our course.

Look around, see Him in everything that you do.

Look around, see Him in everything that you say.

Look around, and acknowledge Him with your obedience, and willingness to serve.

And, finally, look around and feel the JOY that is in you because of His love..

“Dear Father, my Lord, and King, thank You for Your love, for being ever-faithful, and loving us no matter what, I ask that You shine Your magnificent light for those who are in the dark this very moment, that they would come to Love You and know You, as the loving and kind Sovereign Father that You are, in Jesus name…Amen.”
