Page 4 - When I consider your heavens - CD booklet
P. 4
When you look at the night sky, what do you see? On a clear night you will most cer-
tainly see stars. If you are fortunate to be away from the cities, you will see more and
more of them until they seem to fill the whole sky. This gives us a truly magical but
often humbling experience.
King David looked out on a similar sky a few thousand years ago. He saw the stars and
the moon but also saw the hand of our creator at work. We read in Psalm 8
“When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers,
the moon and stars which you have set in place”
He then carries on
“What is man that you are mindful of him,
the son of man that you care for him.
You made him a little lower than the angels
and crowned him with glory and honour “.
