Beauty in the heavens.

Being out in nature, far from the lights of humanity, it's easy to appreciate God's work in the expanse of the night sky, and reminds me of what David wrote:

"When I look at Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars, which You have set in place, what is man that you are mindful of him, and the son of man that you care for him?" (Psalm 8:3-4)

Did you know that you can see the Andromeda galaxy with your naked eye in Wyoming's wilderness? Billions of stars with one spot itself being billions of stars, hiding billions of stars behind it! What a blessing that God shows us infinity and lets us know that he cares about us eternally! Truly I am thankful that God gave, "The moon and stars to rule over the night, for his steadfast love endures forever." (Psa 136:9)
