Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, increasingly filled with wonder:

“…coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights…”
(James 1:17)

All I have to do is step outside on a clear night
away from the crass distraction of city lights

and look up.

Suddenly I’m reminded all over again

who it is I serve
why I so fervently worship.

The sky is filled with stars!

So many, one on top of the other
billions upon billions crammed side-by-side.

Except they’re not.
Most of them are trillions of miles apart.

Which means the majority of my galaxy is made up of things I can’t see.

Dark Matter.
Atomless.

Made up of…

…nobody knows what.

Nobody except You, Jesus – it’s Creator.

One day in heaven You’ll reveal to me its secrets.

But until then
when I start to wonder if my struggles are worth it

All I have to do is step outside on a clear night

and look up.
