The Stars Were An Afterthought

  Genesis 1:16 "God made two great lights-the greater light to govern the day and the lesser light to govern the night. He also made the stars." (NIV)

 
 
  The universe is a huge and incredible place. That feels like a gross understatement. The mere size and depth of the physical world defies the imagination. The little planet we humans call home is seemingly the tiniest detail in the expanse of space. And yet, when we read the account of creation in Genesis, we do not read the story of how God, our Creator, shaped the planets and stars contained in the billions of galaxies surrounding the solar system we call home. We read of the formation of the little planet given us. For six days, God focused on earth. He obviously did not need to: He created the vast galaxies in a single day.
  God, the maker of the stars, bears an unexplainable love for the people He made. Those who are God's children are loved by a God so great that with Him the creation of the stars was mentioned as an afterthought.
