Consider this for a moment.

The closest star to us is our own Sun — a mere 93 million miles away. Close enough that its light reaches us in about eight minutes.

But leave our solar system, and the very next star you'd meet — Proxima Centauri — is 4.25 light-years away. That number sounds small. It isn't. Translated into miles, 4.25 light-years is roughly 25 trillion miles. Our fastest spacecraft would need tens of thousands of years just to get there.

And Proxima Centauri is our neighbor. The nearest one.

Now multiply that unimaginable distance outward in every direction, and you begin to approach what scientists estimate: roughly 200 sextillion stars in the observable universe. Two hundred billion trillion. A number so large that if you tried to count them one per second, you'd still be counting long after the sun itself burned out, according to scientists (you'd be counting for 6.34 quadrillion years).

Two hundred sextillion stars. And that's only the part of creation we can see.

If God flung that much into existence with a word (Gen. 1:16) — and holds every single one of those stars in place, knowing each by name (Psalm 147:4) — what does that tell us about the One who also knows us by name?

Do you know Him?

"At the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father." Phil. 2:10-11

Years ago, I was blessed to come across a small book on the attributes of God while studying that topic in depth. This morning, as I've been studying the doctrine of God's sovereignty, I was reminded of something A.W. Pink wrote at the very beginning of his chapter on the subject — words that struck me then and still do now.

May God bless you as you read, study, memorize, and meditate on His Word.

P.S.

If you don't already know George Müller, do yourself a favor and dive into his story — it's honestly one of the most remarkable accounts of faith in action you'll ever come across. This is a man who cared for thousands of orphans, refused to ask anyone but God for money, and watched provision show up again and again, often at the last possible moment. It's the kind of story that stretches what you think is possible when someone takes God at His word.

You can find his story in book form, or read it completely free since it's in the public domain. I've linked a couple of places below where you can read it online or pick up a physical copy. We're not affiliated with these sites in any way — just passing along the resources to make it easy for you to dig in.

May God bless you and challenge you through the life of George Müller.

P.S. We have some physical resources available at our church on the life and testimony of George Müller, so stop in and ask.

Years ago, during my daily commute from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn, to Midtown Manhattan, where I was working at the time, a little book by Charles Spurgeon called All of Grace crossed my path.

At that point in my life, I was a hungry seeker—and I can look back now and see the gracious hand of our great and providential God bringing that book to me at just the right time.

One particular passage from the end of Chapter 5, “Just, and the Justifier,” has stayed with me through the years. It encouraged me then, and it continues to encourage me today. I pray it will be an encouragement to you as well.

If you have never read All of Grace, I would highly recommend it. It is a simple, powerful presentation of the gospel and the grace of God toward sinners.

The book is in the public domain and is available online for free. Physical copies are also available.

I’ll leave a link to one resource worth visiting, where you can read it as a free ebook or PDF—or even request a free physical copy.

If you do request a free copy, please consider sending a donation to support the wonderful ministry making these resources available to others.

May the Lord use this little book, as He has used it in my own life, to remind us that salvation is all of grace.

Have you ever read the Gospel of John? At the very end, in chapter 20, John shares his purpose for writing it all down: he wants you to believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God — and that believing in Him gives you eternal life.

So here's the question: do you know Jesus?

Don't put it off. Turn to Him today. Turn from your sin, believe in the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved (Acts 16:31).
