God's Energy

Ancient's imagery of the heavens frequently referred to the physical sky with words that portrayed something stretched out and flattened, like hammered metal or a curtain. This acknowledged the immense power or energy required to create and sustain space. 


The night sky "star walks" I have conducted over the years allowed me to share my awe of God's creation.  The planet Jupiter, and her moons, seen through even  a small 4" scope give some perspective to God's power. 


I have found people respond to God's night sky all around the world. This allows us to open the door  to  talking about Jesus.

Isaiah 40:22 - "It is He who sits above the circle of the earth, 
And its inhabitants are like grasshoppers, 
Who stretches out the heavens like a  curtain, 
And spreads them out like a  tent to dwell in."
NIV
