Romans 1:20  For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.

Psalm 19:1–4  The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament showeth his handiwork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night showeth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun.

  1. The stars are a testimony of God’s greatness.
  2. Our galaxy has over 100 billion stars, and over 100 billion galaxies are in our universe.
  3. Each star has the potential of a solar system.
  4. Alpha Centauri—1,600 miles (4.3 light years).
  5. If the sun went out, we would not know it for eight minutes.

For further study, read Psalm 97:6, Luke 12:6–7, and Job 38.
