The Pleiades.
I often think how sad it is that most people never see the night sky in all its glory. I remember when I was 16 yrs. old and went on a date. We went to the forest in his car and parked (of course!). When we turned the car off and walked outside, I stood amazed at the stars in the sky; a gorgeous array of thousands of stars I had never seen before as far as the eye could see.
Psalm 18 says, "The heavens declare the glory of God. It shows his handiwork. Day after day and night after night it speaks to us all around the world." (paraphrased)
God asked Job, ""Can you direct the movement of the stars--binding the cluster of the Pleiades or loosening the cords of Orion?"
"He who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning and darkens the day into night, who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out on the surface of the earth, the LORD is his name." Amos 5:8
The Bible says the sky speaks of the power, wisdom and majesty of God. How powerful would you have to be to say one word and a sun appeared? How wise would you have to be to know how to make a nebula? How big and awesome would you have to be to make a galaxy?
We have a big, wise, powerful God who stepped down to live with us and die for us. What an amazing God!
