Gazing Outward I Look Within

The manifold stars that blanket the sky
draw our eyes up in awe of the depths within sight
while turning us inward
to reflect upon God and His heavenly might.

As I gaze out at this starry expanse
and imagine all the work that it comprised
I realize that it could never have been just chance
that created the wonder now filling my eyes.

How amazing that God could create
this vast creation within our sight
and yet with that same mighty hand
gently opens our hearts to His heavenly light.
