No one in the observatory on that increasingly foggy London evening had even imagined they were all about to be a part of an unexpected discovery of a supernova. But as students were munching away at their pizza, they decided to aim their telescope at a target near the Big Dipper
Boom. That's when they saw it.
You just never know. While most of us will likely never be the first to discover a supernova, if we believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, there is no end to the surprises and wonders He can and will do for us. The universe is filled with His stars. He created them, for signs and for seasons, and for days and years. He knows their names, He numbers all of them, not one of them is missing. He knows their days and their place.
If God cares for the stars in such detail, how much more so will He care for you? (Isaiah 40:26ff).
God can and will do exceedingly and abundantly above all we can ask or imagine, for His glory.
So in the midst of your daily routines, God can break in like a supernova and answer your prayers beyond anything you might have been expecting.
Come along with Wayne and me as we talk about the numinous wonders of supernovae and how they can be a reminder to us of God's glory and His care for us.
