Text: Isaiah 40:21-31
Memory text:
““Can a woman forget her nursing child, And not have compassion on the son of her womb? Surely they may forget, Yet I will not forget you.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭49‬:‭15‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Scientists can not tally all the stars in the universe but keep estimating. With the invention of higher telescopes, the number keeps changing. Of recent, it was estimated that there are over three trillion galaxies, and the earth is in the Milky Way galaxy, which contains an estimated number of hundred octrillion stars. The number of stars will remain uncountable for man (Jer 33:22).
The Almighty demonstrates His Omniscient, the All-knowing ability, to man. He doesn’t need any telescope to count the stars. “He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name.” ‭‭(Psa‬ ‭147‬:‭4‬).
God created the stars and set each in its pathway that they can not bypass. Science believes that the laws of physics govern how stars move. Even if we believe that to be true, know that the stars are held together because the science laws of gravitation are governed by the power of the Creator. Whatever has stood the test of time is only being upheld by the Upholder of all things (Heb‬ ‭1‬:‭3‬). If God withdraws His cohesive power over any part of His creation, there will be disintegration. “…and in Him, all things hold together. [His is the controlling, cohesive force of the universe.]” (Col 1:17 AMP).
The hundreds of billions of stars are never static, but they keep moving along the pathway set for them since they were created. None has ever veered off the pathway set for it or go missing. The Almighty keeps them.
“…He knows how many there are and calls each one by name! His power is so great–not one of them is ever missing!” (Isa 40:26 GNT).
In contrast, the creative works of man are full of imperfections. In aviation history, airplanes have gone missing, and despite extensive search efforts, they were not found! What about airplane collisions in midair due to wrong instructions from the traffic control, malfunctioning of the airplanes safety alert system, and so forth?
Friends, if you have as your God, the One who created the trillions of stars, calls them all by name and keeps them in their place, “Why would you ever complain,… saying, “God has lost track of me. He doesn’t care what happens to me”?” (Isa 40:27 MSG). The 8 billion world population is too small for God to lose tract of you! He knows your name and what you are passing through, and He will surely come through for you. Hallelujah!

Prayer points
1. Father, I thank You that I have You as my God, Keeper and Upholder. Be praised in Jesus’ name.
2. Thank You, Father, for not forgetting me and not losing track of my troubles. Be glorified in Jesus’ name.

Today’s declarations
1. He who keeps the stars keeps track of me and my troubles, and He is coming through for me.
2. If God calls each of the trillions of stars by name, the 8 billion world population is too small for God to miss me in His thoughts.
