the stars proclaim the glory of the Lord

"Be still and know that I am God." Psalm 46:10

Last weekend some of my friends and I took a little road trip to Mauna Kea, the highest point in Hawaii. We packed into a car and drove up the twisting and winding roads. We stopped about ten miles from the top. It was literally freezing. I was hoping to see some snow, but Mauna Kea highest point is above the clouds, which means no precipitation at all. We got out early to adjust to the temperature. The higher we climbed, the colder it would become. We spent a little while and then huddled together in the car to warm up before we drove to the top of the mountain.


It was dark at the top of Mauna Kea. The only lights were from our car and from the stars.

I cannot begin to describe the sight. Thousands and millions of stars dotted the sky. I could only stare at the beauty of the scene above me. The stars twinkled in the night sky. Several shooting stars darted across the blackness. 

And all I could say was "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God Almighty." How could I not worship?

Our God is so great and so big. Looking at that night sky made me see how small I was. And as beautiful as the sky was, God considers us to be the most beautiful of His creation.

Let us magnify His name forever.

He is Holy.

"Be holy as He is holy." 1 Peter 3:15

Look at the sky. See the greatness of our holy God. And worship.
