“Dominion and awe belong to God; he establishes order in the heights of heaven.” – Job 25:2

 In 2009, NASA astronaut Mike Massimino visited the Hubble Space Telescope, some 350 miles above the planet. His mission was to fix the beloved eye in the sky for the last time. Hubble’s gaze is perpetually turned toward outer space but tethered next to the massive observatory, Earth entranced Mike. With verdant South American rain forests, rugged African deserts, and sparkling city lights spread out below him, the planet looked like a paradise.

“I thought at one point, if you could be up in heaven, this is how you would see the planet. And then I dwelled on that and said, no, it’s more beautiful than that. This is what heaven must look like. I think of our planet as a paradise. We are very lucky to be here.”

God is the Creator of all and His creation is awesome and beautiful. Today in prayer, praise the Lord for His Creation.

“This is the creator; by his love, our Father; by his power, our Lord; by his wisdom; our maker and designer.” – Irenaeus

God’s Word: “By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.” – Hebrews 11:3
