If you go outside tonight after the sun sets and look into the sky you may see it. A bright start off in the distance. This star is significantly brighter than all the others. It is Jupiter. Jupiter will be closest it has been to Earth since 1963, only 368 million miles away. If you miss Jupiter tonight then don’t worry as it will be visible for the whole month. The next time Jupiter will be almost as close will be 2022. When you go out and look at Jupiter take some binoculars with you. You may see a couple of Jupiter's 4 moons. (Click here for more info on Jupiter's moons) Last night Sarah and I enjoyed looking at Jupiter and saw 3 of the 4 moons. It is pretty amazing. With that said I can't even fathom how awesome God is in His creation of everything we see. Psalm 19:1-6 says:
The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they display knowledge.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
There is no speech or language where their voice is not heard.
Their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.
In the heavens he has pitched a tent for the sun, which is like a bridegroom coming forth from his pavilion, like a champion rejoicing to run his course.
It rises at one end of the heavens and makes its circuit to the other; nothing is hidden from its heat.
I hope you get a chance to go out and take a look. It is an awesome opportunity to fathom how Great God is and really how small we are.
