Isa. 40:26 “Lift up your eyes on high And see who has created these stars, The One who leads forth their host by number, He calls them all by name; Because of the greatness of His might and the strength of His power, Not one of them is missing.”
God is the One who not only created all the stars but also calls them by name! All of them. Amazing. Not only that but they are all kept by His power.
Now, I’m not sure about you, but I have issues with remembering names! And I don’t have to remember all that many! Do you know how many stars there are? Let’s not complicate issues by moving out of our galaxy but in our Milky Way galaxy alone there are 200-400 billion (with only around 8000 visible to the naked eye.) Alright, let’s complicate the issue by now saying that there are up to 500 billion galaxies (apparently!). So do the maths and you’ll come to the conclusion that there are, argh, um, carry the one, um, well, that’s obviously oodles of stars. And God knows them all by name. Beat that!
