As I was going down the line introducing some stranger to the people I thought I knew, catastrophe hit. As I was proceeding from one to the next, I realized I couldn’t bring the last person’s name up from the hard drive.
The individual said, “I can’t believe you don’t know my name.”
I had known it for many years but not today. As embarrassed as I was, I could offer no logical explanation as to the lapse in memory.
There’s a lot I don’t know and much that I once knew is gone.
However, I am familiar with a God that not only knows every star in the universe but has named every one. He could even tell me the number of hairs on my head.
Psalm 145:4-5
He determines the number of the stars;
he gives to all of them their names.
Great is our Lord, and abundant in power;
his understanding is beyond measure.
1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 (that’s 1 billion trillion), is about the right number when it comes to stars. Did you know that? Now name them.
Give it some thought.
