God’s Asterisks in the Night Sky
You often find in a book or manuscript a small star calling your attention to a footnote—something important that should not be missed. That little symbol, the asterisk, quietly points you to a deeper explanation. In much the same way, the stars scattered across the night sky are God’s asterisks. They are not random decorations or distant accidents; they are deliberate markers, drawing our eyes and hearts upward, reminding us that there is an all-observing, all-knowing Creator who stands behind it all.
When we pause long enough to consider it, creation itself begins to speak. Every nerve in the human body reads like divine handwriting. Every muscle works with intentional design, every bone bears the marks of careful craftsmanship, and every eye reflects the wisdom of the One who sees all things. Nothing about us is accidental. We are fearfully and wonderfully made, living testimonies that God is not distant, detached, or unaware. He is intimately involved in what He has created.
In a world that often rushes past wonder and ignores truth, these divine asterisks still quietly point us back to God. They remind us to slow down, to look up, and to remember that our lives are lived before His watchful eye. Let the stars above and the design within you draw your attention again to Him today—not merely to admire His power, but to rest in His presence and walk in humble awareness that every moment of life is lived under His gracious gaze.
Slow down and notice God’s reminders around you. Let creation and your own design draw your heart back to Him, and live each day with humble awareness that your life is seen, known, and lovingly watched over by God.
"And blessed be his glorious name for ever: and let the whole earth be filled with his glory; Amen, and Amen." — Psalm 72:19

What are you Seeking?
In this week’s message titled "What are you Seeking?" from Kitchener Baptist Church, Pastor Jerry A. Burns explores John 20 to show how the world searches for meaning in the wrong places. Listeners will hear how Solomon looked for purpose in worldly success and pleasures only to find vanity, and how Mary Magdalene sought her Savior at the tomb, weeping for the dead before discovering He had risen.
Pastor Burns reminds us that true life is found only in Jesus Christ. The reality of Christ gives us life, and His resurrection is the key to our salvation and eternal life. We must choose life, for Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life. Join us on "Timeless Truths" as we turn to God's Word for these vital answers.
