\"Night<\/p>\n

Swept up in the moment\u2026<\/h6>\n
Where stars are light years away\u2026<\/h6>\n
The earth spins in orbit, to vast to display.<\/h6>\n
Where galaxies are still forming, infinite, by God\u2019s command.<\/h6>\n
We look on in wonder, mere mortals, man.<\/h6>\n
Trees mock us unwavering and steadfast as they stand,<\/h6>\n
While time slips away.<\/h6>\n
Tens of thousands of angels watch us as we pray.<\/h6>\n
God in his wisdom, simply spoke, \u201cObey.\u201d<\/h6>\n
Winds blow, rocks form, seas deepen, here to stay.<\/h6>\n
What vanity to look at the universe and not see\u2026<\/h6>\n
The Creator, in all His Glory!<\/h6>\n
Humility takes you to the High Places\u2026<\/h6>\n
Look into the sky\u2026see the stars,<\/h6>\n
You and I will one day fly, away!<\/h6>\n

Romans 8:20-31 King James Version<\/em><\/strong><\/h6>\n
20\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,<\/em><\/h6>\n
21\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.<\/em><\/h6>\n
22\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.<\/em><\/h6>\n
23\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.<\/em><\/h6>\n
24\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?<\/em><\/h6>\n
25\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.<\/em><\/h6>\n
26\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.<\/em><\/h6>\n
27\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And he that searcheth the hearts knoweth what is the mind of the Spirit, because he maketh intercession for the saints according to the will of God.<\/em><\/h6>\n
28\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.<\/em><\/h6>\n
29\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>For whom he did foreknow, he also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brethren.<\/em><\/h6>\n
30\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>Moreover whom he did predestinate, them he also called: and whom he called, them he also justified: and whom he justified, them he also glorified.<\/em><\/h6>\n
31\u00a0<\/sup><\/em><\/strong>What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?<\/em><\/h6>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
