“Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited to all we now know and understand, while imagination embraces the entire world, and all there ever will be to know and understand.” ― Albert Einstein

THE WORD FOR 31/10

Stars fascinate me. I can gaze at them for hours. They made me think about the Creator, even at a very early age. I lay there thinking, “Who am I? How did I get here? Who made all these?

PSALM 147:4-5 says, “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name. Great is our Lord and mighty in power.”

God, who knows the name of every star, knows all our names as well. The Creator of the galaxies is also our Father who lovingly attends to our individual needs when we submit to His Lordship. It doesn’t matter how complex our problems are. God Almighty, the One who spoke the universe into existence, has power enough to meet our every need.

Perhaps the most-terrifying space photograph around.

Astronaut Bruce McCandless II floats untethered away from the safety of the space shuttle, with nothing but his Manned Maneuvering Unit keeping him alive. The first person in history to do so.

As a nod to a comment on my post the other day, and also as a general thing, I want to use this post to show the difference between the questions I get right first time and do neatly, and the questions I have to make a mess to figure out! As you can see, my notes/workings are definitely not always perfect first time - it’s just that us studyblrs tend to choose the nicer-looking sections to share. Please keep that in mind when you see ‘perfect’ notes/workings on here :)

I’ve got another busy weekend, but I’m feeling productive so hopefully I’ll get a lot done!
