Wonder Why

“He telleth the number of the stars; He calleth them all by their names” (Psalm 147:4).  [“The heavens declare the glory of God… Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their WORDS to the end of the world” (Psalm 19:1-4). “Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?... Canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?” (Job 38:31,32).]  “My son, if thou wilt receive My WORDS… then shalt thou… find the knowledge of God” (Proverbs 2:1-5).  “The LORD of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory” (Isaiah 23:9).  “I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8). 

Have you ever wondered why
The Lord gave every star a name? 
Their purpose thus upon the sky
Is to declare our Savior’s fame!

The heavens thus declare His glory,
Their line is gone through all the earth,
Their words recount redemption’s story,
And thus exalt our Savior’s worth. 

Let every other glory fade! 
Let all the pride of man now cease! 
Behold these starry words displayed
Now glorify our Prince of Peace!

And have you never read in Job
The stars God plainly would discuss?
Such names as Pleiades we probe,
Orion too, and Arcturus. 

The PLEIADES depicts His “Doves”,
ORION means “He Comes as Light”,
ARCTURUS “Comes” for those He loves:
How bright His glory is at night!

Astrology we should disdain! 
It shouldn’t take us by surprise
That Satan thus would seek to stain
God’s glory with perverted lies!

At last we all may be assured
The message that the stars convey
(Since God has authored every word),
Agrees with what His Scriptures say.

How excellent is Christ our Lord,
Above the heights of outer space,
Who shall forever be adored
By those whom He redeemed by grace!

Lord, keep us ever near to You,
That we may count all things as loss
That hide Your beauty from our view
Or cause us to forget Your cross.
